Public bug reported: When creating a new Makefile by visiting a new file, a template of a Makefile is automatically inserted by Emacs. Included is a timestamp that will update as the file is saved. However, it deletes the comment sign while updating, thus causing the successive 'make' call to fail.
For example, this is how the Makefile lines 7 and 8 look like before a save, when visiting the new file: ## Started on Mon Jul 7 08:07:04 2008 Stephan Fabel ## Last update Mon Jul 7 08:07:04 2008 Stephan Fabel After the save, it looks like this: ## Started on Mon Jul 7 08:07:04 2008 Stephan Fabel Last update Mon Jul 7 08:08:06 2008 Stephan Fabel There is no way other than deleting line 8 to circumvent this behavior. ** Affects: emacs22 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Timestamp in Makefile https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246354 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
