Hi ! I'm looking for some help regarding MAKE !

I want to use a crosscompiler (gcc-h8300-hms) on Windows98. This works
so far but I have troubles using MAKE. The known bug with the "Command
line too long".
I downloaded make3.79 and installed it. Starting the makefile does work
but ends up in trouble when displaying a unix-style long commandline
using ECHO (trying to make a CORTEX RTOS example program/ makefiles
written for unix sh/gmake). Other commands don't work as well ...

After reading the FAQs I tried to unset the SHELL which currently points
to c:\windows\command.com with SHELL=  and SHELL=${NULL} as proposed but
it didn't help (in the makefile). I got on setting the
MAKESHELL=command.com in the makefile but it was of no use either.

Now the questions:
- is it possible to invoke a non djgpp gnu compiler with this make
  (maybe there's some restriction because of param. passing ?)
- and where to find a make (for any compiler) if it were so ?
- how do I properly unset the SHELL-variable as proposed in FAQ16_6
- do I better use a bash-shell (keeping unix "compatibility") 
  and where to get it ?
- or does an echo-command don't work anyhow with a long text line

Well, if someone had similar troubles or could give me some examples I
woul really appreciate this.

So long
Thomas
