More on this: Executing:

echo -e \t\tExecuting  scripts

under bash gives the right result, but sh doesn't (it
includes the -e in
the output).

My guess is that Ubuntu's sh isn't conforming to the sh we
know and [love|hate]. I'll dig some more...

The echo built-in doesn't support -e.

R.

Yeah, the -e is really only for bash. Perhaps you want to
add the
SHELL = bash variable to the Makefile.

Another option. Use the character code directly.

echo $$'t'$$'t'Executing scripts

This seems to work with /bin/echo and the builtin bash echo,
but it's
the only shell I have.

   strange, '-e' has been part of the makefile since day 1.
   I will change the tab requirement.

Wait, this isn't a good idea. sh is bash on my system and
it's doing
the $'t' substitutions. It's probably a good idea to add
"SHELL =
/bin/bash" to the Makefile unless you want to do
excessive bourne
compatibility checking.

That's because sh=bash on all of our systems (probably). But
Richard
is using Ubuntu where this doesn't seem to be the case.

   In the trunk I have changed/added the following.
at the end of the constant definition

add   tab_ = 't'
add   nl_  = 't'

replace all "\t" with "$(tab_)"
replace all "echo -e"  with "echo "

   TOF - could you try this on your Ubuntu

Hey George, if you want to play around with a real Bourne
shell (to
see just how compatible your scripts are), try out the
heirloom sh.

http://heirlo
om.sourceforge.net/sh.html

Don't `make install', though, unless you don't like your
current
/bin/sh! I installed it on anduin in my home directory as
jsh to play
around. I haven't gotten around to installing it on my home
box.

It's a lot of fun to find out how not compatible your
scripts are. 
Much easier to just say /bin/bash this.
