xmkmf inserting extra space in Makefile?

[Matthew Crouse]

Hello,

Long time listener, first time caller, etc. I have a problem with xmkmf/imake that I've spent all day trying to figure out. This is on a 9000/780 system running HP-UX 10.20, btw. My setup is like this:

The Imakefile contains this:

#ifdef sunos
AllTarget ( $(HDRS)
libsnmp_db.SharedExtension
libsnmp.SharedExtension
libsnmp.a
)
#else
AllTarget ( $(HDRS)
libsnmp_db.SharedExtension
libsnmp.SharedExtension
libsnmp.a
libsnmp_db.a
)
#endif

Which, when run through xmkmf (just plain, no args) produces a Makefile with corresponding lines like this:

all:: $(HDRS)
libsnmp_db. sl
libsnmp. sl
libsnmp.a
libsnmp_db.a

libsnmp_db. sl :

(Note the extra spaces before the .sl extensions. These break make in a big way, because it thinks it's looking for a file called 'libsnmp_db.' and can't find it.)

SharedExtension is defined in hpnp.cf, which is included in /usr/lib/X11R6/imake/site.def like this:

#ifdef AfterVendorCF
/* LUCS-specific modifications below */
#include

Inside /usr/lib/X11R6/imake/hpnp.cf, SharedExtension is defined like this:

# ifndef SharedExtension
# define SharedExtension sl
# endif

Bear in mind that this isn't something I wrote, rather it is a project I inherited. Due to the nature of the project, I assume this has worked on other systems, but I can't seem to nail down the cause of this one. Does anybody have an idea where this extra space might be coming from? Thanks in advance.
