Makefile does not with with MinGW/MSYS on Windows 7 #109

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I'm running Windows 7 x64. I installed the most recent stable MSYS release 
(obtained by running mingw-get-inst-20101030.exe and selecting the development 
tools). I did this to get Make installed. When I run "make help" I get an error:

Makefile:802: *** missing separator.  Stop.

Which points to this line in the Makefile (version 2.2.0-rc7):

^Ela'A' \:noh
j

Commenting out the lines fixed allowed me to run "make help".

Interesting.  Now that I look at it, it makes sense that that messes up on 
Windows, since it embeds a newline.  I'm just deleting the comment, since it's 
out of date anyway.  I now have code that generates in-line sed from real 
script files on disk, now, so that macro is obsolete.

r3cd05a6da9ed contains the fix, and I'm pushing rc8 right now.
