Re: Why "*** extraneous `endef'. Stop."?

[Sergey Zubkovsky]

Thanks to All for the answers!

I'll submit the issue.

Just two questions from a novice like me: is the 'make' at "active" 
development stage?
I'm looking to "http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=make";.
There are many hang up issues. They are dated by previous years and 
don't assigned to anyone.
I'll schedule to move my project to bjam 
(http://www.boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/index.html) since make's 
scripts are too difficult for my purpose.
Has anyone use bjam in yourself projects?

Thanks.
