I need to be able to run several recipe lines within the same shell. I
know that I can string all the commands together in a single line - but
I have a quite complex recipe for the target, so being to execute the
entire recipe in a single shell is quite attractive to me. The
.ONESHELL: special target is supposed to do this - but I don't seem to
be able to get it to work... am I missing something?
Here are some details:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ cat Makefile
.ONESHELL:
doit:
# see if it works!
@echo list current directory
ls -l
@echo
@echo change to the home directory and list it
cd /home/jimw
ls -l
@echo
@echo so where are we?
pwd
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what happens when I run make:
$ make
# see if it works!
list current directory
ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r--. 1 jimw jimw 188 Nov 11 17:15 Makefile
change to the home directory and list it
cd /home/jimw
ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r--. 1 jimw jimw 188 Nov 11 17:15 Makefile
so where are we?
pwd
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some details about my system:
$ make -v
GNU Make 3.81
This program built for x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
$ uname -a
Linux tlwst001 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jun 27 19:49:27 BST
2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ cat /etc/issue
CentOS Linux release 6.0 (Final)
Kernel \r on an \m
$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
