Then <code>make</code> will invoke one shell to run the entire line, and the shell will execute the statements in sequence. For example: </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">foo : bar/lose + cd $(<D) && gobble $(<F) > ../$@ +</pre> +</div> <p>Here we use the shell AND operator (<code>&&</code>) so that if the <code>cd</code> command fails, the script will fail without trying to invoke the <code>gobble</code> command in the wrong directory, which could cause problems (in this case it would certainly cause <samp>../foo</samp> to be truncated, at least). </p> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="one-shell" accesskey="1">One Shell</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">One shell for all lines in a recipe. </td> +</tr> <tr> +<td align="left" valign="top">• <a href="choosing-the-shell" accesskey="2">Choosing the Shell</a> +</td> +<td> </td> +<td align="left" valign="top">How <code>make</code> chooses the shell used to run recipes. </td> +</tr> </table><div class="_attribution"> + <p class="_attribution-p"> + Copyright © 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <br>Licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.<br> + <a href="https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Execution.html" class="_attribution-link">https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Execution.html</a> + </p> +</div> |
