5 buggy make command completion - ID: 710092

Last Update: Comment added ( simos )

Details:

If I have a special formatted line in my Makefile,
tcshrc completion fails to work after the make command,
thus tcsh fails. For e.g.:

tcsh> ls Makefile
Makefile

tcsh> cat Makefile
dummy:
sed -e "*\:"
test:
@echo "this rule works"

tcsh> make <--press <TAB> here>
make `cat -s GNUmakefile Makefile makefile |& sed -n -e
"/No such file/d" -e "/^[^ #].*:/s/:.*//p"`: No
match.

I found out that this is a bug with the
.tcshrc.complete file at the 915. line number. I attach
the buggy Makefile.

Date: 2009-01-20 12:13 Sender: simos The 'make' completion rule was written for older (perhaps non-gnu) make programs, and it chokes now. I have disabled it from tcshrc.complete. Since Makefiles are quite complicated, I'll leave it like this for now. The latest tcshrc is available from http://github.com/simos/tcshrc/tree/master
Date: 2003-04-01 20:16 Sender: simos Logged In: YES user_id=13118 I disabled the 'make' completion in the new version of tcshrc. It produces another problem as well (documented in the tcshrc docs). When running 'make install', in some cases the command fails. The user has to think hard to identify the problem as she just writes 'make install' and presses enter. The completion mechanism of tcsh tries to check the command and fails without informing the user.
