Hi, How to set .RECIPEPREFIX variable to whitespace(say 4 whitespces) , so that make uses this particular set of characters to identify the recipe for a particular target. In my $HOME/.vimrc file, for code indentation purpose, I've put the following entries to replace tabs with 4 whitespaces: <<<snip from my $HOME/.vimrc file>>> "replace tabs with spaces set expandtab set shiftwidth=4 set tabstop=4 <<<snip from my $HOME/.vimrc file>>> but the above will cause problem in case you write your own makefile for a kernel module, because now the tab stroke will be replaced by 4 whitespaces which 'make' will not understand. Quoting from 'make' manual, "Please note: you need to put a tab character at the beginning of every recipe line!" Seems .RECIPEPREFIX will come for resuce, but as of now I don't know how to use it to fix my problem. Regards, Amit -- Life is elsewhere. Cross Frontiers.
