Re: *.java vs *.JAV on NT

[Rob Tulloh]

I am not able to reproduce this. Recently, I have been reading Bruce Eckel's
online book "Thinking in Java, 2nd edition, Revision 11". It includes some
samples and training modules which are simple java files with a GNU makefile
to compile them. Here is an example:


> D:\Documents\BOOKS\ThinkingInJava(v2)\c02>type makefile
> # From Thinking in Java, 2nd Edition
> # At http://www.BruceEckel.com
> # (c) Bruce Eckel 2000
> # Copyright notice in Copyright.txt
> # Automatically-generated MAKEFILE
> # For examples in directory .\c02
> # using the JDK 1.2 compiler
> # Invoke with: make
>
> JVC = javac
> JVCFLAGS =
> .SUFFIXES : .class .java
> .java.class :
>         $(JVC) $(JVCFLAGS) $<
>
> classes =  \
>         HelloDate.class\
>         HelloWorld.class\
>         ATypeName.class\
>         DataOnly.class\
>         Storage.class\
>         StaticFun.class\
>         Args.class\
>         AllTheColorsOfTheRainbow.class
>

If I then run this from a DOS prompt:

D:\Documents\BOOKS\ThinkingInJava(v2)\c02>c:/rob/make-3.79.1/windebug/make -v al

javac  HelloWorld.java
javac  ATypeName.java
javac  DataOnly.java
javac  Storage.java
javac  StaticFun.java
javac  Args.java
javac  AllTheColorsOfTheRainbow.java

It seems to work even with very long file names. I wonder if we could learn how
this user compiled their copy of make 3.79.1 and what tools/environment they
are using in their environment.
