RE: 'Unexpected end of line seen' error while building CSSL using GNU make.

[Swaroop Sugunan]

Hi,
 
We have tried by installing the gmake as given in the "INSTALL" file. Steps followed are
 ./configure
  make
  make install
 
This installed the gmake. We could see the newly installed gmake in the path which was automatically added.
 
echo $PATH gives the following
 
bash-3.00# echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/export/meta/Atlas/v4.0//unixshared/bin/solarisx64:/usr/ccs/bin:/export/Sunstudio/SUNWspro/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/ucb
bash-3.00# which make
/usr/local/bin/make

 
Initially "which make" gave the path as "/usr/ccs/bin/make" which is the Solaris make that comes with the Solaris 10 x86 installation.
 
So I think for that particular build statement uses the gmake itself. However, one thing is which I noticed is that that path persists per session only. i.e, when I open a new terminal these path doesn't exist.
 
We were trying to build from "bash" and were getting the error mentioned below. However, when we tried running the build command from "sh" then it works ok for that part of the code. Could you please tell us why it worked in "sh" and not in "bash"?
 
 
Regards,
Swaroop
