[gnu.utils.bug] problem with make 3.44 on sun4-os4

gerry@TOADWAR.UCAR.EDU (gerry wiener) (03/31/89)

Here is a problem with make3.44 on sun4-os4.  There are two makefiles,
titled makefile and in a subdirectory sub1, sub1/makefile.  Below gnumake
stands for the obvious.  Make stands for sun make.


hail:tdwr:1>make install
for i in sub1; do (cd $i; make  install); done
echo "this is done"
this is done
hail:tdwr:2>gnumake install
for i in sub1; do (cd $i; make  install); done
make: Fatal error: Unknown option `--'
gnumake: *** Error 1


Here are the files:

#	This is a shell archive.
#	Remove everything above and including the cut line.
#	Then run the rest of the file through sh.
#----cut here-----cut here-----cut here-----cut here----#
#!/bin/sh
# shar:	Shell Archiver
#	Run the following text with /bin/sh to create:
#	makefile
#	sub1

SUBDIR= sub1

install: FRC
	for i in ${SUBDIR}; do (cd $$i; make ${MFLAGS} install); done
