I am dealing with a primary Fedora machine and a alternate WinXP under
cygwin. Cygwin always screw up the permissions when I drag stuff over to
it and then bring it back to the Fedora box. I've got scripts to handle
making things right again.
But I did have a question which I didn't find out from Googling (as I
suspect I didn't know how to phrase it). On a Fedora/Linux box, do
Makefile/makefile (s) have to be set to +x? Or can they be just "rw-r--r--"?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Thanks for the prompt reply. If I read this correctly, any and all of my
{M,m}akefile must be executable (as in "+x")?

Thanks for prompt reply. By this I am assuming that a Makefile/makefile
and its contents are not deemed a mandatory executable as opposed to a
*.sh? I am unclear as to what is happening under the hood as I thought
anything that "executes" needs to be "+x"?

Makefile doesn't execute.... the "make" command executes. As I
mentioned, Makefile is just input to make (a.k.a. /usr/bin/make).
I don't know what you mean by *.sh since the concept of extensions
doesn't exist under Linux. But you may also be interested to know that
"shell" scripts (or files containing shell scripts) need not be executable.
[egreshko@meimei bin]$ ll killfox
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 egreshko egreshko 63 May 25 2011 killfox
[egreshko@meimei bin]$ ./killfox
firefox-bin: no process found
plugin-container: no process found
But also....
[egreshko@meimei bin]$ chmod -x killfox
[egreshko@meimei bin]$ ll killfox
-rw-rw-r--. 1 egreshko egreshko 63 May 25 2011 killfox
[egreshko@meimei bin]$ sh ./killfox
firefox-bin: no process found
plugin-container: no process found

A shell script to kill firefox when it used to give me problems a while

Marvin and Ed:
Though I really appreciate both of your replies, I am looking at them
and seeing that Marvin is saying it needs to be "+x" and Ed is saying it
doesn't. I ran a test and "-x" seems to work.
For questions on my syntax of "*.sh", I have believed since my earliest
days that a shell file (be it ".sh", ".csh", ".tcsh", or ".bash") that
it has to be "+x" as it is an executable. If I am incorrect, I would
love to know, though it may take me a day or two to adjust to the news
that the earth shifted polarity (smile)
Thanks,
Paul
