If you mean you tried:

$ cmd
c:\> make

and

$ pdksh
$ make

that was probably not enough; you need to change the shell used
by make; not sure what the evaluation order is for OS/2 w.r.t
SHELL and COMSPEC, or how it handles /bin/sh, but adding

SHELL = x:/path/to/sh.exe

to your makefile _should_ make it work (given that your sh apparently
understands ':').  Then again, I can only go from what the DJGPP port
does (it uses the SHELL setting _inside_ the makefile to decide whether
to use $SHELL or command.com to process commands).
