This rule uses a cvs commit, and then a cvs update in the appropriate directory. The problem is that it doesn't work. Witness the following interaction: mark AT DELL166 ~/work/src/anmNumeric $ cvs commit cvs commit: Examining . mark AT DELL166 ~/work/src/anmNumeric $ make dev rm -f lib/Win32/anmNumeric.lib test -d /home/mark/work/include || mkdir /home/mark/work/include cd /home/mark/work/include && rm -f numeric.h linearalgebra.h roots.h boundingre ct.h cvs commit /anm/usr/bin/cvs: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected make: *** [dev] Error 2 For some reason the cvs command works from the console but when make forks the process off it doesn't work. I have absolutely no idea what the "(" referred to is. Does anybody have any clue what's going on here. Mark. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
