Weired error (related with long names or names with specially character?)

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

I have the same make file in two directories. One directory has files
with long file names (with '_' and '-' in the file name). The other
directory has files with short files names. The makefile works in the
latter directory but not the former. I have no clue what is wrong.
Would you please help me on this issue?
