Subject: make, sh, bash and echo

Hi,

Makefile:

all:
	echo -ne "foo\nbar" > bar

$ make --unix
$ cat bar
-ne foo\nbar

Seems like the wrong echo is executed because SHELL is /bin/sh.exe and PATH isn't set correctly, you know why.
On Unix of course the right one and only echo is executed.
If I add the line SHELL=/bin/bash.exe it works the way i expect.

Is there any better solution ?

Greetings,
Stephan
