LMH:
Thanks for the reply. For many years, I've had no trouble doing
everything inside a makefile, including getting platform/OS/etc. I've
seen posts that use a config.sh or similar ... up until now I've had no
need to consider that path.
Given that the problem is identified (basename doesn't like spaces), a
fix is easy (don't use spaces), and everything works, I don't think
switching is going to help me. Its more and more looking (to me) like a
error/warning message is thrown by basename which is being called under
the hood by make (as opposed to my explicitly using that function) and,
right now, I can't capture the message when I think I am getting
everything stdout and stderr is spitting out.
