From: Andy_Lord AT tertio DOT com Subject: MAKE SHELL = cmd ?? (read the FAQ!) 14 May 1998 11:21:51 -0700 Message-ID: <80256604.003F4F53.00.cygnus.gnu-win32@tertio_ln1.tertio.com> To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com I've upgraded from b18 to b19 but my make scripts seem broken. Shell commands such as 'ENV=value export value ; command' don't work. *** I checked the FAQ and it said to add '.' to my path - but it doesn't make any difference. Also make resets the SHELL to cmd.exe even if SHELL is set to /bin/sh prior to calling make. Setting the shell explicitly within make causes more problems - presumably because its passing switches for for cmd.exe to /bin/sh.exe. I could probably investigate more and put all the switcheds right but is this the correct approach, or am I digging around too deep? Andy L.
