They are just simple file tests using the '[' program. When I run them at the console they work, but putting them into a Makefile stops them from working. -------------------- transcript -------------------- BASH.EXE-2.02$ touch foo BASH.EXE-2.02$ ls -l total 1 -rw-r--r-- 1 500 everyone 59 Dec 27 10:33 Makefile -rw-r--r-- 1 500 everyone 0 Dec 27 10:33 foo BASH.EXE-2.02$ [ -x foo ] || echo no no BASH.EXE-2.02$ [ ! -x foo ] || echo yes BASH.EXE-2.02$ [ -x foo.exe ] || echo no no BASH.EXE-2.02$ [ ! -x foo.exe ] || echo yes BASH.EXE-2.02$ cat Makefile all: [ -x foo ] || echo no [ ! -x foo ] || echo yes BASH.EXE-2.02$ make [ -x foo ] || echo no [ ! -x foo ] || echo yes yes -------------------- transcript -------------------- -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
