proper tab in the laptop list in the Makefile #59
Conversation

What is the advantage of making this change? On the flip side, writing it as "\t" means that even in editors where the difference between soft and hard tabs are unclear (which is most of them), it is still clear that you have written the right one. (I also have to stop and comment on the irony of talking about tabs in a Makefile, which has its own love/hate relationship with tabs) |

It is displayed as \t otherwise, afair. |
|
Ah, that is a little more annoying - it doesnt happen for me, so clearly different shell or make versions are at play here. Can you try changing it to 'echo -e "$$i.img\t....."' ? |

GNU bash, version 4.4.12(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) Yes, it works fine w/ -e. |
This allows us to use options to echo that in turn allow it to interpret the tab escape sequence. Some systems would be using other shells by default, so this should make the environment more consistant.
|
I've pushed a change in 95b63fa that should address this setting. |

This problem with displaying things will probably have resurfaced as part of other work. Since it is a cosmetic display-only issue, I can live with that for the moment. But - reopening to remind me to fix it better |
