escape "\:" not working properly

[Jason Sheu]

Hi,

 

I cannot seem to escape “:” from the name name. Here is a test Makefile.

 

53> cat Makefile

 

all: testDirColon testFileColon

 

testDirColon: dir\:1/file1

        echo "Dir test passed: $?"

 

testFileColon: dir2/file1\:1

        echo "File test passed: $?"

 

31> gmake

gmake: *** No rule to make target `dir\:1/file1', needed by `testDirColon'.  Stop.
