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.
