I thought Apple had promised not to break "echo -n" in Leopard? They did it anyway. Not in /bin/echo, but in /usr/bin/make and in /bin/sh.
Make uses its own built-in echo (or perhaps the one built into /bin/sh), and the one in Leopard doesn't understand -n. Packages that still have "echo -n" in their Makefiles will break. The xetex package is an example. The same behavior can be seen in /bin/sh scripts where the built-in echo is used. Try `sh -c "echo -n asdf"`. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
