Re: Strange new error in make

[Knut Schwichtenberg]

Royce,

there is another good way to create a problem: If you use -MD to create
dependencies make can also crash with a strange message. This happens
mostly at the second run. Also here the "\" is the problem. The way to
get around this is use -MMD, remove the dependency files (mostly with .d
extension) and restart.  And whenever you are using paths within your
#include statement use "/".
That's all I've learned concerning dual usage of makefiles for M$ and
any UNIX / Linux

Cheers,
Knut.
