amu and 'Unix' tools

I use sed in a configure Makefile to create tuned Makefiles for Fireworkz builds, but have had to continue to use an archaic version of sed built with Norcroft C to get this to run successfully under amu as the packaged sed built with gccsdk does not work.

Got a gccsdk autobuilder running today building sed to finally try to work out why the packaged sed does not work in place of the one compiled with Norcroft C, but found that it wasn’t just packaged sed (an AIF, not ELF) that hung a Makefile run under amu, but gcc too, and I suspect any of the SharedUnixLibrary tools that produce console output.

Try dragging this Makefile to !Amu (you will need to set !Amu.Desc’s slot to 16M+ for gcc):

all:
    echo Invoking gcc
    gcc --version
    echo Back from gcc

[Edit: Running amu that invokes gccsdk-tools from an Obey file does work OK, as does a TaskObey that creates output, it’s the FrontEnd task window stuff probably.]
