Thank you Dave, I understand now what is happening. I changed the name
of the sh.exe to sh_.exe and now everything is working. I think that
make searches first for the sh.exe file, and if it doesn't exist, it
uses C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe
1) The SHELL variable is not set in my environment, but this doesn't
have a different behaviour when it is set or not. I have tried with
C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe but it is not better.
2) The MAKE_MODE variable is supported, but the result is also bad
because all the paths are changed to /cygdrive/... if I set the variable
to win32, and if I set it to unix, we need the sh.exe, that gives a bad
return value with 'cd'.
Regards,
Omar
