Hello

    i'm having a strange problem with the make command and shell.

i try to run a makefile with this :
HAVE_DEVFS := $(shell grep 'CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y' ../../linux/.config &> 
/dev/null && echo "yes" || echo "no")

the shell command is working out of a makefile but in the makefile the 
HAVE_DEVFS variable only contain the output of the grep command. Does 
anyone know why it doesn't work ?

I'm using make 3.80-1 on windows 2000

thanks
