POMakefile works in bash but fails in zsh. Can you point out error in syntax of for loop?
 

Note that there are some explanatory texts on larger screens.

    <p>Here's the beginning of a GNUMakefile that works well under bash but has failed since I switched to zsh (and oh-my-zsh). It is annoying that I need to start a bash shell to perform it, so do you think you can help point out the syntax problem?</p> <pre><code>SUBDIRS = generator geometry io management physicslist processing makeall: @echo "********************************************************************************" @echo " Building Project" @echo "********************************************************************************" @for dir in $(SUBDIRS); do (echo; echo; echo Building $$dir...; cd $$dir; $(MAKE) "SUBDIRS=$(SUBDIRS)"); done </code></pre> <p>This results in an infinite loop:</p> <pre><code>[●]% make ******************************************************************************** Building Project ******************************************************************************** Building generator... /bin/sh: line 0: cd: generator: No such file or directory ******************************************************************************** Building Project ******************************************************************************** Building generator... /bin/sh: line 0: cd: generator: No such file or directory ******************************************************************************** Building Project ******************************************************************************** ... ... </code></pre> <p>It seems I fork-bomb myself with make's and /bin/sh's:</p> <pre><code>... ... 24921 ttys012 0:00.00 make SUBDIRS=generator geometry io management physicslist processing 24925 ttys012 0:00.00 /bin/sh -c for dir in generator geometry io management physicslist processing; do (echo; echo; echo Building $dir...; cd $dir; make "SUBDIRS=generator geometry io man 24926 ttys012 0:00.00 /bin/sh -c for dir in generator geometry io management physicslist processing; do (echo; echo; echo Building $dir...; cd $dir; make "SUBDIRS=generator geometry io man 24927 ttys012 0:00.00 make SUBDIRS=generator geometry io management physicslist processing 24931 ttys012 0:00.00 /bin/sh -c for dir in generator geometry io management physicslist processing; do (echo; echo; echo Building $dir...; cd $dir; make "SUBDIRS=generator geometry io man 24932 ttys012 0:00.00 /bin/sh -c for dir in generator geometry io management physicslist processing; do (echo; echo ... ... </code></pre> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>The makefile inside of generator looks like:</p> <pre><code>name := generator include ../ProgramConfig/Libraries.gmk </code></pre> <p>Libraries.gmk looks like</p> <pre><code>.PHONY: all lib all: lib include ../ProgramConfig/BuildDirs.gmk include $(G4INSTALL)/config/architecture.gmk include $(G4INSTALL)/config/common.gmk include ../ProgramConfig/ExtraDeps.gmk include ../ProgramConfig/GEANT4.gmk # Add the sub-directory include directories to the compilation list CPPFLAGS += $(addprefix -I../, $(addsuffix /include, $(SUBDIRS))) -O2 cleanup: cd $(G4WORKDIR) rm -rf bin tmp lib </code></pre>

    1. COThe syntax looks correct, and it will go into an infinite loop if one of the subdirs is missing. Are you sure that there is a `generator` subdirectory? Try `makeall: @ls | grep generator` to be sure. Also, there are safer ways to get it to iterate over the subdirs.

    2. CO@Beta: The subdirectories are all there and the makefile works fine with bash. To explore the option, though, what would be a safer way to iterate over the subdirs?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
