RE: can't get shell var to work in rule

[Nestor Amaya]

Hi,

I had the same problem. Do the following:

find $(TMPDIR) -name '*~' | while read line; do rm "$$line"; done

Cheers,

Nestor

I have in one of my rules:

find $(TMPDIR) -name '*~' | while read line; do rm "$line"; done

when executed it becomes:

find /tmp -name '*~' | while read line; do rm "ine"; done
I've tried all combinations of escapes and haven't been able to
figure it out.

make 3.79.1 under cygwin (w2k)
bash 2.05a.0(2)
