This isn't a "make" in the conventional sense -you're running a shell command which just happens to be make. The $(shell) command has no particular error handling features. To get this to work would be a bit of hassle. e.g. set a flag file if your $(shell) command fails (you'll have to do that in the $(shell) command itself), then check for that flag with: ifneq (,$(wildcard my_error_file) $(error my build broke) endif or something along those lines. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
