I am trying to write Makefiles using Sun 4.0 make. I would
like to use csh as the command interpreter for the
lines in the makefile, which is easy;
SHELL=/bin/csh
will do it. Because of of csh's unfortunate requirement
that certain keywords (such as foreach, while, end, etc.)
appear alone on a line, I can't seem to write makefiles
using these constructs. csh scripts work OK, but
embedded in Makefiles with \'s at the ends, the
scripts fail. Looking at the output of the Makefile below,
I'm a little puzzled as to why the interpreting shell is "-sh",
but it understands "foreach"; it *must* be a csh, but
I don't see it in the 'ps'. Does anyone know what's going
on, and/or know a workaround? Here's the example:
% cat Makefile
SHELL=/bin/csh
GRONK=a b c d
bletch:
set verbose echo;\
ps xg;\
foreach i ($(GRONK)) ;\
echo $$i ;\
end
% make
set verbose echo;\
ps xg;\
foreach i (a b c d) ;\
echo $i ;\
end
ps xg
PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
20284 p1 S 0:00 make
20293 p1 R 0:00 -sh -ce set verbose echo;\ps xg;\ foreach i (a b c d
20294 p1 R 0:00 ps xg
24415 p1 S 0:15 -csh (csh)
foreach i ( a b c d )
? foreach: end not found.
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `bletch'

Any help would be appreciated... Please respond via email;
I'll post a summary if there's sufficient interest.
