RE: Shell commands in makefile not working (running Windows XP)

[Scott Merz]

Hmmmm…

 

invoked make:

make –e –w debug

 

set SHELL:

SHELL=C:\Windows\Win32\cmd.exe

 

displayed SHELL:

echo ( $(SHELL) )

 

Output:

( sh.exe )

 

SHELL is still set to sh.exe! Must be some sort of incompatibility between make and the interpreter (looks even more like it the longer I mess with this thing).

Did you invoke make with the –e option to get that to work?

 

So by fully qualified you mean no Environment variables in the file path?

i.e.

SHELL=%SystemRoot%\win32\cmd.exe would be WRONG

 

And

SHELL=C:\Windows\win32\cmd.exe would be CORRECT??

 

I’m going to try that now…thanks a bunch

I found that putting a fully qualified path into SHELL= did get make to use cmd.exe again.
