My environment variable SHELL is set to "f:/djgpp/bin/-bash.exe". This -bash.exe created I with "ln -s -- bash -bash", hence the problem (I suppose) is make crashes if SHELL is set to a DJGPP symbolic link while building tar. However I have been using make without problems building other things (like djdev202). Why is tar ('s makefiles) showing this behaviour? Any ideas? Right, MartinS
