Make does not read untagged Makefile coded in IBM1047

[mgrossmann]

Hi there,

today I tried to replace Rockets gmake with ZOT equivalent.
Unfortunately I'am unable to use vanilla USS files (untagged/1047) as a Makefile.

If my file is untagged and in IBM-1047 gmake can't read it.
When tagging this file with the appropriate tag, things are going well.

Untagged files in IBM8859-1 where read just fine. (tagged too)

So in my opinion the default behavior is to read untagged files as ISO8859-1.
I don't think that's the right choice.

But what do you think about this?

Best, Mike

Any update here?

Yes, untagged and IBM-1047 will work:

toe Makefile # convert to EBCDIC
chtag -r Makfile  # make it untagged
ls -lT
total 32
- untagged    T=off -rw-rw-r--   1 ITODORO  BASIC        871 Sep 12 08:16 Makefile
t ISO8859-1   T=on  -rw-rw-r--   1 ITODORO  BASIC        959 Sep 12 08:16 process_data.pl
