More details: "Unexpected end of file" on Solaris 8

[Andrei Lenkei]

As some kind souls correctly pointed out; I should have appended the 
rule and/or the output of "make -n" at least as soon as I sent the 
e-mail. Sorry for that.

Below I have included the rule that fails and the "-n" output.

The reason I decided to write is that after searching on the internet I 
ran across 4-5 other people having this error.

Best regards,
Andrei Lenkei

Here is the rule that fails.

clean:
   @dirlist="$(SRC1) $(INCLUDE1) $(SRC2) $(INCLUDE2) $(SRC3) 
$(INCLUDE3)" ; \
   for dir in $$dirlist ; \
   do \
       $(RM) $$dir/*pure_* $$dir/#* ##dir/,* $$dir/*~ ; \
   done
   @$(RM)    $(PROGOBJECTS1) $(PROGRAM1) \
       $(PROGOBJECTS2) $(PROGRAM2) \
       $(PROGOBJECTS3) $(PROGRAM3) \
       $(JLIBOBJECTS1) $(JLIBRARY1)  \
       $(JLIBOBJECTS2) $(JLIBRARY2) \
       $(JLIBOBJECTS3) $(JLIBRARY3) \
       $(JAR1) \
       $(JAR2) \
       $(JAR3) \
       $(IDL_GEN_HEADER) \
       $(LIBOBJECTS1) $(LIBRARY1) \
       $(LIBOBJECTS2) $(LIBRARY2) \
       $(LIBOBJECTS3) $(LIBRARY3) \
       ./,* ./*~  \
       core *.a
   @$(RMR) ./.sb Templates.DB SunWS_cache
   @dirlist="$(SUBDIRS)" ; \
   for dir in $$dirlist ; \
   do \
       dir=`echo $$dir | sed 'address@hidden/@@'` ; \
       if [ -d $$dir -a -f $$dir/Makefile ]; then \
           echo "$(INDENT)Cleaning in $(DIRNAME)/$$dir" ;\
           ( cd $$dir ; make BUILDVERSION=$(BUILDVERSION) 
PROJECT=$(PROJECT) SILENT=$(SILENT) INDENT="$(INDENT)__" 
DIRNAME=$(DIRNAME)/$$dir clean ) ; \
       fi \
   done
and here is the output from "make -n" :

>make -n clean
dirlist="     " ; \
for dir in $dirlist ; \
do \
       /usr/bin/rm -f $dir/*pure_* $dir/#* ##dir/,* $dir/*~ ; \
done
/usr/bin/rm -f    \
 \
 \
  \
 \
 \
\
\
\
\
libCorbaGen. \
 \
 \
./,* ./*~  \
       core *.a
/usr/bin/rm -rf ./.sb Templates.DB SunWS_cache
dirlist="cpp java" ; \
for dir in $dirlist ; \
do \
       dir=`echo $dir | sed 'address@hidden/@@'` ; \
       if [ -d $dir -a -f $dir/Makefile ]; then \
               echo "Cleaning in ./$dir" ;\
               ( cd $dir ; make BUILDVERSION=5 PROJECT=common_libs 
SILENT= INDENT="__" DIRNAME=./$dir clean ) ; \
       fi \
done
