strip won't help. It reduces multiple whitespace characters to one space, but it won't remove ALL whitespace characters. Yes, you have to be very careful where you break lines in your makefile, paying attention to this behavior. I checked and this wasn't clearly defined in the GNU make manual before: I've added a new section to make it more clear. > Well, to me, this is already broken to begin with :) The person who > writes code like this should find some other occupation. That's one way to look at it. Another way is that they know what the standard guarantees in terms of make behavior and they're writing their makefile to adhere to the standard. Hard to argue with that. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
