RE: How to pass a group of COMPILER OPTIONS using GNU Make Command Line under WINDOWS

[Duane Campbell]

I see you single quoting - a ' is not a quoting character in Windows CMD shell.
In Windows CMD shell " is the (only) quoting character.

Note: There is no standard way to quote a " character in windows.
Windows opted to have applications parse the command line - hence no standard.
It is up to the programs and the libraries they use.
I.e. unlike *nix, the shell only parses the program name;
  the parsing of the rest of the command is left up to the program.

Subject: How to pass a group of COMPILER OPTIONS using GNU Make Command Line 
under WINDOWS

Hello,

Following is my MAKEFILE "TestRunGNUMakeForBoot"  contents [1 line command 
under TARGET ALL]  within my Project Root Directory:

===============================================================
        ALL:
   cd DBC_Boot_Build && $(MAKE)  BYPASS_ANCGEN=$(BYPASS_ANCGEN) 
MAKEBENCH=$(MAKEBENCH)   
COMPILE_OPTIONS_FROM_MAKE='$(COMPILE_OPTIONS_FROM_MAKE)' -f TestDBCGNUBootMake 
$(MAKEFLAGS)
=====================================================================

Following is my SUB-MAKEFILE "TestDBCGNUMake" contents within my sub-directory 
called "DBC_Boot_Build" under Project Root Directory:

===================================================================
    ALL: HELP
 @echo ----------  ALL Target Completed ----------

  .PHONY:HELP
         HELP:
 @echo HELP Message Displayed
 @echo COMPILE_OPTIONS_FROM_MAKE=$(COMPILE_OPTIONS_FROM_MAKE)
 @echo COMPILE_OPTIONS_FROM_MAKE1=$(COMPILE_OPTIONS_FROM_MAKE1)
========================================================================

Following is my command line invocation for the above mentioned MAKEFILE from 
Windows DOS cmd.exe SHELL [1 line] applied from Project Root Directory:

C:\Partha\GNU\MAKE\DJGPP_BUILD\make-3.82\WinRel\gnumake -f 
TestRunGNUMakeForBoot BYPASS_ANCGEN=TRUE MAKEBENCH=FALSE C_DISABLE_CCP=TRUE 
COMPILE_OPTIONS_FROM_MAKE="--define=COMPILE_ENABLE_EXTENDED_NEGATIVE_RESPONSE=FALSE"
 COMPILE_OPTIONS_FROM_MAKE+="--define=DEVELOPMENT_BOOT_CCP=TRUE" 
SHELL="C:\WINNT\System32\cmd.exe" PACKAGE_NAME=junk BUILD_TYPE=ISO_CAN_BUILD

I get the following error under DOS Box:

C:/Partha/GNU/MAKE/DJGPP_BUILD/make-3.82/WinRel/gnumake: unrecognized option 
`--define=DEVELOPMENT_BOOT_CCP=TRUE''
C:/Partha/GNU/MAKE/DJGPP_BUILD/make-3.82/WinRel/gnumake: unrecognized option 
`--define=DEVELOPMENT_BOOT_CCP=TRUE'

Any idea how to solve this puzzle of passing mutiple COMPILER SWITCHES from GNU 
Make Command Line under WINDOWS DOS cmd.exe SHELL?

Thank you.
Regards
Partha
