Hi All,
I am calling bash from dmake. The make file initiates the call to bash as
follows:
/bin/bash /S /c ""
/bin/bash -S -c ?
Anyway, -S is not valid option in Fedora's bash version 4.1.7.
The command to execute is between the double quotes. For instance
In Make File:
@ls -l ./SomeDir/*
Bash Command
/bin/bash /S /c "ls -l ./SomeDir/*"
The /S from what I see enables regular expression processing in the bash
command line, but maybe I might be wrong. In any event, the problem that I
have is the asterisk. Bash does not like it. I tried escaping it with a
backslash up to nine levels but that did not work; should only require one.
Pathname expansion is on by default. Can be turned off by `set -f' or
invoking bash with `-f' option.
Yes, the actual command that I use is not ls. In the real example, I am
using "rm -f", but ls is a good example too and safer for experimentation.
How do I write the command line, so that it works? "ls -l ./SomeDir/\*"
does not work, nor anything else that I tried so far.
Explain what means `does not work'. What it does?
Thanks in advance,
Sarah
