Hi,
I thought of setting SHELL to some ssh script to allow load sharing of
parallel make (when you use -j). But I have techical difficulties: line
continuations do not work well. This simplest form I have:
$ cat myshell
#!/bin/bash
# Turn $* into an array to remove -c
args=( `echo $*` )
ssh localhost "cd $PWD; ${args[*]:1}"
$ cat Makefile
SHELL = ./myshell
all:
# Comment are okay
t=`echo "\"Complicated quoting seems okay\'\\""`
echo This is the remote host as desired: $$HOSTNAME
echo But line continuations && \
echo are not.
I suspect it has to do with the shell and not with make, although make
does pass the line continuation character "\" without passing the
newline to ./myshell (echo $* to see).
Any advice would be appreciated as I have tried many different variations
for quoting the ssh arguments (such as [EMAIL PROTECTED]). The idea is to make it
work the same with and without overriding SHELL.
Note that $PWD must be expanded on the localhost, and the args aims to be
the thing make passes to the shell which I want to relay to the remote
host.
Has this been attempted before? How can I fix the line continuation
problem?
Thanks,
Martin
