Hi, if this is in a makefile, try $$dir instead: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- <target>: [...] for dir in tcl7.6/unix tk4.2/unix itcl/unix itk/unix \ iwidgets2.2.0/unix; do \ (cd $$dir; $(MAKE) all) ; done [...] ======================================================================
The single $dir shall be interpreted as a Make variable, and using $MAKE) instead of make shall allow you to pass in options like -n and -j, etc. manoj -- echo "ICK, NOTHING WORKED!!!
