Hi Tim,

Interesting. The two lines from my src/algebra/Makefile look like

${MID}/VECTOR.lsp: ${IN}/vector.spad.pamphlet
@${TANGLE} -R"VECTOR.lsp BOOTSTRAP" ${IN}/vector.spad.pamphlet>${MID}/VECTOR.lsp

No \ there.

I am using debian.

awk --version
GNU Awk 3.1.4

But I also heard that there is some issue with \ in awk.

On most lisp systems the egrep/awk script creates stanzas that look like:

${MID}/ABELGRP.lsp: ${IN}/catdef.spad.pamphlet
        @${TANGLE} -R"ABELGRP.lsp BOOTSTRAP" 
${IN}/catdef.spad.pamphlet>${MID}/ABELGRP.lsp


but on Debian the lines look like:

\${MID}/ABELGRP.lsp: \${IN}/catdef.spad.pamphlet
        @\${TANGLE} -R"ABELGRP.lsp BOOTSTRAP" 
\${IN}/catdef.spad.pamphlet>\${MID}/ABELGRP.lsp


It looks like debian's awk uses a different convention of escape characters.
I'll have to write a special case version for debian in the morning.
