SHELL overide

[Gerould S]

Hi,

 

I just compiled GNU Make 3.8 on the PC with the microsoft compilers. I'm trying to overide the shell that is used by make.

 

I've tried various things like:

a) set the SHELL enviroment variable to the ksh that I want to use

b) set the COMSPEC enviroment variable to point to my ksh

c) do something like gnumake.exe SHELL=/myfiles/ksh.exe

 

None of these seems to work - did I miss something ?

(It only works if I set SHELL inside the makefile to the hardcoded path  which is something I'd like to avoid)

 

Thanks !

Jerry
