spammers.
Thanks. Incidentally, what kind of mailer quotes full headers like
this?

OK, here's something like a test case. Since a couple of my
previous attempts
to post a reply with a zip file attachment were unsuccessful, I've
put the
test case here:
http://debian.fmi.uni-sofia.bg/~angel/test_case_make_3.80.zip
To summarize, for those who'd rather not download the full zip:
------------ BEGIN makefile ------------
GetAllFiles = \
$(eval AllFiles := $(wildcard $(addsuffix /*,$(strip $(1))))) \
$(AllFiles) \
$(if $(strip $(AllFiles)),$(call GetAllFiles,$(AllFiles)))
AllFiles := $(call GetAllFiles,Source)
all:
@echo $(AllFiles)
------------- END makefile -------------
The "Source" directory contains 2 files, File1.h and File2.h.
The result I get when running (the cygwin version of) make on my
system is:
Source/File1.h Source/File2.h h
And the expected result is:
Source/File1.h Source/File2.h
There are a bunch of things wrong with the code above (in
particular, the
variable AllFiles is overridden), but it does look like a genuine
make bug
(in the expansion of a $(call) function).
Could you point out other wrong things with the code above so that I
try to avoid them in the future?
