c++ - SMAKE doesn't allow underscores in default rules?

Consider the following SMAKE fragment:

.cpp{\path\with_underscore}.obj:
	$(CXX) -c -o"$ " $(CXXFLAGS) "$<"

SMAKE complains about the "_" in "with_underscore". Is that standard 
behavior or an unexpected feature? If it's an unexpected feature, 
currently kills the STLport build process I'm attempting to complete.

Are you sure smake really complains about '_' ? Perhaps error is related to 
other thing but wrong formylated or understood ? I ask because Bakefile 
creates SMAKE makefiles for wxWidgets with a lot of underscores (thought 
not in inference rules).

What about quoting error message ?

I don't post things w/o testing them first. If you cut-n-paste those two 
exact lines and run SMAKE, SMAKE will complain about the "_".

(Really. I do achieve positive cluon flux density most of the time. :-)
