Hello,
I'm using cygwin's build of GNU make on a Windows 2000 system. I recently
upgraded the make executable from version 3.79 to 3.79.1, and now I'm having
some problems...
The compile-time initialization of "default_shell" (main.c:1134) has changed
from "sh.exe" in version 3.79 to "/bin/sh.exe" in 3.79.1. The unqualified
value of "sh.exe" allowed make to find sh.exe using PATH, but "/bin/sh.exe"
does not exist on my system and is not found by make. The following
Makefile demonstrates the problem I'm seeing:
##### begin
all:
echo "SHELL=$(SHELL) ($(origin SHELL))"
##### end
Here are the results when I execute this Makefile with make 3.79 and 3.79.1:
C:\TEMP> make-3.79
echo "SHELL=sh.exe (default)"
SHELL=sh.exe (default)
C:\TEMP> make-3.79.1
echo "SHELL=/bin/sh.exe (default)"
make-3.79.1: /bin/sh.exe: Command not found
make-3.79.1: *** [all] Error 127
Was this change intentional? If so, is there some way to get my makefiles
to run again without copying a shell to /bin or running make with
"SHELL=sh.exe" on the command line? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-Shawn
