Are you sure you're running GNU make?

There is no such thing as $(shell ...) in Solaris make: it's interpreted
as a long, weird variable name.

Also, note you _really_ want a simple assignment:

  FILES := $(shell find . -name "*.c" -print)

(note the :=).  See the GNU make manual for more details.


If none of the above seems to be the problem, try something like:

  FILES := $(shell echo running find in `pwd` 1>&2; find . -name "*.c" -print)

and see if you get anything printed that's interesting.
