Description hjl 2002-04-01 22:47:57 EST

# make
if [ -n "" ]; then \
  for r in ; do \
    echo $r; \
  done; \
fi
/tmp/bash: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `;'
/tmp/bash: -c: line 1: `if [ -n "" ]; then  for r in ; do  echo $r;  done;  fi'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Bash in RedHat 7.1 and the current public beta are ok.

A Makefile to show the bash bug

Comment 2 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2002-04-02 05:42:05 EST

This is because  
  
for i in ; do something; done  
        ^nothing  
  
isn't part of older standards. 
Support for this construct has been added in 2.05.

Comment 3 hjl 2002-04-02 11:49:00 EST

It is a regression from RedHat 7.1. The build stops working
after upgrading to RedHat 7.2.
