>Summary: 20040720: Make not accepting arguments

Initial Comment:
I am using WinAVR-20040720 and am having a problem with
Make and arguments. I have a muti-directory build where
a makefile must call make after going into other
directories. The problem is that the target argument is
never passed to the make application, cause the first
(typically all:) target to be exectued. 

Here are two simple make files which show the problem


Makefile in root directory
--
all: 
           cd dir1 ; $(MAKE) target
--

in the 'dir1' directory
---

all: 
      @echo "all"

target: 
       @echo "target"
---

(Be sure to use tabs where needed)..

Here, when you run the makefile in the root directory
it should print "target", but instead it prints "all".

When the remote execution occurs, I think it actually
creates a shell script and executes the shell script.
Creating a simple shell script can produce the same issue:

test.sh
----
make target
---

Running test.sh in dir1 will produce 'all' and not
'target'.

I think this is likely a cygwin bug, but I wanted to
post it here first. 

Please contact me for any other information.

James,

Could you try the 20050214 release and see if your problem
still exists?

Thanks
Eric

hi, I've made a similar but different observation on winavr
2004-07-20

in most cases, make is able to pass on arguments. e.g.

all: 
    make -C subdir

works but not, if the make is executed from within a for-loop

LIST = A B
%:
         for item in $(LIST); do                  echo "calling make -C $$item $@ ....";                  $(MAKE) -C $$item $@ || exit 1;          fi;          done

all:


here in this case, the echo gives the correct output but the
make command is actually executed without parameters. here
resulting in an infinite loop.
