Negative glob in Makefile recipe syntax error
If I run the following command directly in /bin/bash it executes perfectly:
cp test_!(*.o) ./tmp/
(I just want to copy all files but objects)
Anyway if I put this command inside a Makefile recipe it gives
bin/bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
Example of Makefile
all:
cp test_!(*.o) ./tmp/
What's wrong with that?

!(*.o)is an extended pattern matching feature, turned on withshopt -s extglob. It may not be available in the subshells spawned by the Makefile, though there's likely a way to turn it on. Sorry, I don't use Makefile much these days, and never needed this, so can't tell you how.

Your glob:
test_!(*.o)
employs extended globbing syntax.
Look at this:
$ shopt | grep extglob
extglob on
And then at:
$ cat Makefile
SHELL := /bin/bash
all:
shopt | grep extglob
$ make
shopt | grep extglob
extglob off
Invoked in the terminal, bash is in interactive mode (as per bash -i), and
shell opt extglob is on.
Invoked by make, bash is not in interactive mode (as per bash -c <command>),
and shell opt extglob is off.
You can make your recipe command work by enabling extglob in the
.SHELLFLAGS
of your makefile, e.g.
$ cat Makefile
SHELL := /bin/bash
.SHELLFLAGS := -O extglob -c
all:
cp test_!(*.o) ./tmp/
$ make
cp test_!(*.o) ./tmp/
cp: cannot stat 'test_!(*.o)': No such file or directory
Makefile:5: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 1
As you see, no matches in my working directory, but no syntax error.

Your glob:

Look at this:
$ shopt | grep extglob
extglob on
And then at:
$ cat Makefile
SHELL := /bin/bash
all:

$ make

extglob off
Invoked in the terminal, bash is in interactive mode (as per bash -i), and
shell opt extglob is on.
Invoked by make, bash is not in interactive mode (as per bash -c <command>),
and shell opt extglob is off.
You can make your recipe command work by enabling extglob in the
.SHELLFLAGS
of your makefile, e.g.
$ cat Makefile
SHELL := /bin/bash
.SHELLFLAGS := -O extglob -c
all:
cp test_!(*.o) ./tmp/
$ make
cp test_!(*.o) ./tmp/
cp: cannot stat 'test_!(*.o)': No such file or directory
Makefile:5: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 1
As you see, no matches in my working directory, but no syntax error.
