I've used make on windows for quite a while - I use it for all sorts of
non-compilation tasks, and my makefiles tend to occasionally use dos-type
commands - e.g if exist ...
It all worked perfectly until I installed a compiler that put a sh shell on my
path. Since then all my makefiles are broken.
Make appears to insist on using the sh shell buried on my path rather than
cmd.exe
I've tried explicitly putting SHELL = cmd.exe in my makefiles - but that didn't
seem to work. Putting SHELL = c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe seems to sort-of work,
but then all sorts of other errors come up.
Is there a simple way (other than changing my path before running make) to keep
all my makefiles that worked perfectly well before working?
