Bug 197975

Thomas, please, looks like we forgot to convert parens into curlies when loading pre-70 projects

Problem confirmed: if you in NB 6.9.1 and earlier versions create a Project with existing Sources (Automatic mode), the build commands uses $(MAKE) (regular parenthesis) which is not a problem in these versions of NB but in NB 7.0 the build commands are now executed as shell commands and the make macro syntax is causing problems for the shell. In 7.0 we use curly parenthesizes which is accepted by both make and shell but 7.0 doesn't work with a 6.9.1 project. 

Work-around is to manually change $(MAKE) to ${MAKE} in the project properties and things should be fine.

I will implement a fix that automatically detects the former style in build commands and convert them into the latter.

I also found two cases (qt projects) where we still used $(MAKE) in 7.0. I fixed both.

Fixed:

summary:     #197975 - Projects from 6.9 do not build because of invalid $(MAKE) reference

*** Bug 197937 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

fix failed in trunk build 20110513
Thomas, please fix it ASAP.

My fix is in trunk (just verified it) and it also does work for me. At least my test case works. Two questions:

What are the fill build/clean command? Pls copy/paste into here.

What is the project version number?

Can you pls attach the project that is failing?

Here is how I have tested it:

- Create Project With Existing Sources with a NB 6.9. Project has (MAKE) in build command. Project version is 69.
- Open the project with latest trunk build and the build command should automatically been converted to use {MAKE}. Check the properties. 
- Build the project, and it should build fine.

the project to reproduce the bug

Thomas, I use absolutely the same steps as you do. I use nb 6.9.1 to create a project with existing source then open it using the latest NB from trunk or even from branch 7.0.1 and the project version is changing from 69 to 79. But in my case
Build Command: $(MAKE) -f Makefile
Clean Command: $(Make) -f Makefile Clean

I've attached my project.

Here is the makefile based project created on my Ubuntu using NB 6.9.1
