RE: 'make aux' hangs ?


Hi Olivier,

aux is reserved by the OS. Since make uses internal rules that access aux as
file, you're stuck.

>Finally, note that this is in make, and that aux is a phony, not a
>file...

You obviously did not explicitly set aux as phony target, since this works
for me:

---- makefile begins -----

.PHONY: aux
aux:
	echo Hello!

---- makefile ends ----

/home/jse> make aux
echo Hello!
Hello!

Greetings,
Jorg
