ummm,

I got a problem with it. 'info make' says to use the following:

%.d: %.c
        set -e; $(CC) -M $(CPPFLAGS) $< \
                  | sed 's/\($*\)\.o[ :]*/\1.o $@ : /g' > $@; \
                [ -s $@ ] || rm -f $@

but I get an error:
Generating dependencies for zone.c...
Unknown command "["
No command name seen.
make.exe: *** [release_DOS/zone.d] Error -1

Why?
Now, if I delete '[ -s $@ ] || rm -f $@' it works, but if it fails I end up
with a null file... How do I fix that?
And what is '[ -s $@]' for? What does it means?


Thanks,
Norberto
