Re: GMAKE 3.81 vs GMAKE 4.2

[nikhil jain]

sorry to not be clear -
see this how it works in makefile. It is part of the target -

bash-4.1$ cat Makefile
a1:
        trap 'USER_INT=1; /bin/echo "terminating, please wait...."' INT; \
        sleep 100

bash-4.1$ make
trap 'USER_INT=1; /bin/echo "terminating, please wait...."' INT; \
        sleep 100
^Cterminating, please wait....
make: *** [a1] Error 130

see this ? When make was executing sleep 100 , I gave ctrl+c and got my
message " terminating, please wait". It did not go to fatal_error_signal at
all.
Please check..

thanks
Nikhil
