That would be cool. However I don't see much justification around
verifying for sure if a path is on the network. After all it's just a
warning message, not a error.
It's very easy to check on windows (in shell, adjust appropriately for
makefile):
net use j: > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
# local drive
else
# remote drive
fi
If you want to be fancy you could grep the output of net use for
"Remote Resource" or something..
Thanks Dmitri. That's totally correct. But still I don't consider it as
a requirement. If we were to prohibit using a network-located BOOTDIR,
then this would be a must. Currently this just seems like an overkill
for such a tiny fix.
