Echo backslash escaped characters

[allanmac]

Not sure why my bash environment would be unique, but make help isn't emitting color/bold characters.

This is fixed by replacing "@echo "..." with "@echo -e "...".

I just get an -e

odroidn2plus: debian-image-builder git:( feature U:1 ?:19 ✗ ) $ make help

-e          Debian Image Builder

I'm running GNU bash, version 5.2.1(1)-release.

There might be other differences like how color support is enabled in our environments.

Are you on Ubuntu Kinetic Kudu or Bookworm? The builder doesn't currently support those, as one is a short term release and the other a current unstable. As much as I would like too, it's to difficult to support.

I'm on a Debian Bullseye variant.

[pyavitz]

Did you manually update to this version of bash? My bullseye installs are @ 5.1.4(1)-release.

It's a company modified version of Debian so I'll close this issue and try again on stock Bullseye. Thanks!
