From 66e8777769ae1408dde499701e07e2bf2c598a21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Rog=C3=A9rio=20Brito?= Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2011 13:18:17 -0200 Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: Don't use `echo`'s `-e` option for portability. Many systems (including Debian, Ubuntu and derivatives like Linux Mint) use Dash as a noninteractive version of `/bin/sh`, invoked by `make`. Dash's `echo` command doesn't understand the `-e` option and this generates spurious output when running `make`. See [a bugreport][0] for one of the many instances of this bug/feature in action.
