I'm trying to get a makefile to prompt a user for a value. The normal bash syntex doesn't work i.e example: read value use $value for something It prompts the user, but I don't know where it's putting value echo $value returns nothing echo $$value returns $value Does anyone know how to do this? thx, NZG. - To unsubscribe, send email to majordomo@silug.org with "unsubscribe silug-discuss" in the body.
