cvs in makefile rule

[Mark Tigges <mtigges at cpsc dot ucalgary dot ca>]

We have a makefile rule which automatically
distributes code to a central build/work area
for collaborative work.  This rule uses a cvs
commit, and then a cvs update in the appropriate
directory.

The problem is that it doesn't work.  Witness the
following interaction:

mark@DELL166 ~/work/src/anmNumeric
$ cvs commit
cvs commit: Examining .

mark@DELL166 ~/work/src/anmNumeric
$ make dev
rm -f lib/Win32/anmNumeric.lib
test -d /home/mark/work/include || mkdir /home/mark/work/include
cd /home/mark/work/include && rm -f numeric.h linearalgebra.h roots.h
boundingre
ct.h
cvs commit
/anm/usr/bin/cvs: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
make: *** [dev] Error 2


For some reason the cvs command works from the console but when 
make forks the process off it doesn't work.

I have absolutely no idea what the "(" referred to is.

Does anybody have any clue what's going on here.

Mark.
