Hello, I'm using the 3.81 version of make provided here. Currently, I don't have any of the typical Unix-style shells installed, so when it runs, it's executing via cmd.exe. Commands execute just fine with no problem, but I need this makefile to be executed on Unix-like systems as well. I also can't just install a shell because I'll be sharing this with other Windows users, too, who also don't have any such shell. I know how to use variables to have different command names, so that's fine. The problem I'm having is detecting whether or not I'm using a Unix-style shell or if I'm running something DOS-like. The SHELL variable doesn't update to match the actual shell in use, sadly. It defaults to sh.exe and stays that unless the variable is manually set (which I prefer to avoid requiring). As a work around, I'm testing if the ComSpec variable is defined by the environment and setting SHELL to its value if so. This really isn't satisfactory since, if I understand correctly, a Windows user explicitly specifying a non-DOS-like shell or a Unix-like OS user having a ComSpec environment variable would break the functionality. Is there a better way to deal with this? Thanks. _____________________________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this topic or entire forum.
