I have a Microsoft nmake makefile that contains a for loop that runs child makefiles recursively. The makefile looks something like this: --- begin --- MAKE = nmake -nologo -f makefile.nt build: for %i in (foo bar juice beef) do $(MAKE) make_dir DIR=%i make_dir : cd $(DIR) $(MAKE) $(TARGET) cd .. --- end --- Since upgrading from Cygwin b20 I have been having trouble with this makefile on NT 4.0sp4. Everything is fine unless I try to abort the build via Control-C. When I hit Control-C, only the current (foreground) make process is aborted. The background loop continues kicking off make processes. However, subsequent Control-C's are ineffective at aborting the make processes. I have to resort to Task Manager to abort them. It appears that the parent background make with the loop does not reaquire the terminal after I abort the child foreground make and therefore does not recieve the Control-C's. Is there some way I can work around this problem? Any help would be greatly apprieciated. Mike Bresnahan -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
