Follow-up Comment #5, bug #62200 (project make): > typed the recipe command line into your shell prompt I see the point but I'm not sure I'd put it *quite* that way. Didn't bash win the Shell Wars?
martind@sirius:~/tmp/make-62200$ PATH=$(pwd):$PATH /bin/sh -c asdf /bin/sh: 1: asdf: Permission denied martind@sirius:~/tmp/make-62200$ PATH=$(pwd):$PATH /bin/bash -c asdf /bin/bash: asdf: command not found martind@sirius:~/tmp/make-62200$ Perhaps someone else thought the message was worth customizing, probably with their own localization, as the capitalization, for one thing, suggests it's not an errno. Huh, I see we have some commented-out localization for "Command not found", which goes back in the Gnu Make source to 1992's: rol...@redhat.com d2e5ab8c57d613ce8955a08fce5c0e453b3038e6: if (!search_path (argv[0], path, program)) error ("%s: Command not found", argv[0]); > If you rebuild your GNU make 4.3 with the latest gnulib That would intimidate me and I've submitted patches. README.git has been tractable in recent years. Paul would hate to suggest that you use an earlier version, because he's more aware than anyone of all the bugs fixed since, but... >> I don't have in my PATH the $(pwd) folder Sorry, I should have been explicit that I didn't want asdf in /usr/local/bin (and like to promote the semicolon recipe separator), so had changed my test case to: martind@sirius:~/tmp/make-62200$ mkdir asdf martind@sirius:~/tmp/make-62200$ echo 'all:; asdf' > Makefile martind@sirius:~/tmp/make-62200$ PATH=$(pwd):$PATH ~/download/make/make asdf make: asdf: Permission denied make: *** [Makefile:1: all] Error 127 martind@sirius:~/tmp/make-62200$ I don't think that's materially different from your original asdf case, though, as Paul says, the cp case *is* likely to be different - that already-fixed, but after 4.3, bug #57962. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?62200> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
