Re: problem with make under cygwin


thanks

i found also that passing -n to echo solve the problem ???? :

HAVE_DEVFS := $(shell grep 'CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y' ../../linux/.config &> /dev/null && echo -n "yes" || echo -n "no")

but thank you, your solution is so much better

Hello

i'm having a strange problem with the make command and shell.

i try to run a makefile with this :
HAVE_DEVFS := $(shell grep 'CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y' ../../linux/.config &> /dev/null && echo "yes" || echo "no")


the shell command is working out of a makefile but in the makefile the HAVE_DEVFS variable only contain the output of the grep command. Does anyone know why it doesn't work ?



make uses /bin/sh. /bin/sh doesn't understand the >& construct. It is not portable.

Use

HAVE_DEVFS := $(shell grep 'CONFIG_DEVFS_FS=y' ../../linux/.config >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "yes" || echo "no")

instead.
