-: There are several ways:
-:
-: set HOME=c:
-: set HOME=c:/
-: set HOME=/dev/c
Yes, if I set HOME='/dev/c' the makefiles behave as desired.
But I neglected to say that whatever value HOME has for `make',
it should (ideally) be understood by any program that uses HOME to
find its startup files (e.g., gnuplot, vim, elvis). These do not
understand `/dev/c'; `c:' is usually understood as a relative path;
and `c:/' will choke any program expecting DOS-style backslashes.
Fortunately, some of these programs also check another, more specific
environment variable (e.g., $VIM) if $HOME doesn't work for them.
