Ok, I've found the problem. I installed the UnxUtils files (http://unxutils.sf.net/) and put their directory into the PATH environement variable. Unfortunately they have an exe file called echo.exe that does the above mentionned replacements!!! And make calls the files in PATH before any built-in command. Anyway, I renamed the offending file and everything is back to normal. Thanks anyone for your help Olivier Back to top Hans-Bernhard Broeker Guest Posted: Fri Apr 02, 2004 2:17 pm    Post subject: Re: How to prevent make to replace escape characters ?

And make calls the files in PATH before any built-in command. Not quite. "Echo" is not a built-in command of make, as far as I'm aware. It's rather a built-in command of the command line shell (COMMAND.COM or CMD.EXE, respectively). The problem would then have been triggered by make first trying to find an executable that does a given thing, and only if that doesn't seem to work, passing the whole command line over to the normal command line processor. This may sound like a silly idea, but unfortunately it's pretty much a necessity because stupid old command.com never learned to pass back a usable return status (errorlevel) when used as a sub-shell.
