I have a Makefile that looks like the one below

#
# Test makefile
#

host := $(shell hosttype)

all:
	echo $(PATH)

# end makefile

When I try to run it I get:

"make: hosttype: Command not found"

But at the shell prompt I can execute hosttype:

bash$ hosttype
nt-3.51-i386
bash$

And the PATH that's echoed in the above Makefile shows the directory
where hosttype resides.

Any thought?

thanks

simonb
