Gnumake.RECIPEPREFIX problem

Question

I am trying to use a special variable .RECIPEPREFIX to avoid hard-to-reach tabs, but it does not work. My simple test file:

    .RECIPEPREFIX = +

    all:
    + @echo OK

but I get a message:

xxx: 4: *** missing separator. Stop

+3

What version of gnu make do you use? 3.81?

Support .RECIPEPREFIX is only supported with 3.82. I checked your sample at 3.82 and it works.

:.RECIPEPREFIX reset (TAB) - . . , TAB . reset ; , . , $(. RECIPEPREFIX).
