I experimented a month or two ago with native win32 versions (I tried the one compiled by Jan-Jaap van der Heijden and also compiled the source with Visual C++). I ran into the problem you describe. I think it was related to case-sensitivity of environment names: win32 make expects to find a "Path" environment variable, not "PATH" or "path". ---- Mark Hadfield, m DOT hadfield AT niwa DOT cri DOT nz http://www.niwa.cri.nz/~hadfield/ National Institute for Water and Atmospheric Research PO Box 14-901, Wellington, New Zealand -----Original Message----- From: Eyal Lebedinsky To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Date: Wednesday 25 February 1998 08:28 Subject: gnu-win32: bad path from make >I use this to set my mingw32 env: > set PATH=d:\mingw32\bin;%SVPATH% > >If I then inspect the path that make passes to commands (say, have 'set' >added to my rule to display the env) I find something like: > PATH=ath=d;\mingw32\bin;d:\bat;d:\bin;... > >As you see, the leading part is destroyed. > >Any idea what is going on?
