If it appears as the first non-comment line in the makefile, make shall > process the makefile as specified by this section; otherwise, the behavior of make is > unspecified. Running the makefile with `.POSIX` runs shells with the `-e` options, which helps with handling errors; without this, make completes "succesfully", even shell commands in a target fail, for example: make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/ubuntu/workspace/docker-ce-packaging_PR-504/engine' mkdir -p build/linux/docker cp /home/ubuntu/workspace/docker-ce-packaging_PR-504/cli/build/docker build/linux/docker/ for f in dockerd containerd ctr containerd-shim containerd-shim-runc-v2 docker-init docker-proxy runc; do \ cp -L /home/ubuntu/workspace/docker-ce-packaging_PR-504/engine/bundles/binary-daemon/$f build/linux/docker/$f; \ done cp: cannot stat '/home/ubuntu/workspace/docker-ce-packaging_PR-504/engine/bundles/binary-daemon/containerd-shim-runc-v2': No such file or directory With this patch applied, the target succesfully detects the failure (changed one filename to be invalid for testing): make[1]: Entering directory '/docker/static' mkdir -p build/linux/docker cp /docker/src/github.com/docker/cli/build/docker build/linux/docker/ for f in dockerd containerd ctr containerd-shim containerd-shim-runc-v99 docker-init docker-proxy runc; do \ cp -L /docker/src/github.com/docker/docker/bundles/binary-daemon/$f build/linux/docker/$f; \ done cp: can't stat '/docker/src/github.com/docker/docker/bundles/binary-daemon/containerd-shim-runc-v99': No such file or directory make[1]: *** [Makefile:30: static-linux] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/docker/static' make: *** [Makefile:70: static] Error 2 Note that this patch does not change behavior on macOS, which runs an older version of GNU make, that does not support these options.
