Works for me if I remove the two close-parentheses and replace the white space with underscores. Open-parenthesis fine, close-parenthesis bad. Weird. Close-parenthesis is also bad with Debian sarge's make-3.80. The non-ASCII characters seem to work fine. ------------------------------------- Martin's Outlook, BlueArc Engineering -----Original Message----- From: Paul Smith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 16:22 To: Jon Grant Cc: Martin Dorey; bug-make@gnu.org; Dan Jacobson Subject: Re: can't get far if file has difficult name On Thu, 2006-11-30 at 22:51 +0000, Jon Grant wrote: > Martin Dorey elucidated on 30/11/06 21:32: > > Isn't this more relevant?

I might need to reopen that bug; there definitely was a change in behavior WRT filenames containing spaces between 3.80 and 3.81. I need to look at it to see what's going on. I'd be interested to see the same test with "odd characters" but not whitespace. As far as I know, GNU make is UTF-8 compatible. But I know very little about it. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
