Yes, I had the problem and solved it as I mentioned in an earlier mail.
My experimentation indicates that build-prc does not do globbing on its
arguments. That is, if I run the command as shown above from a
command.com prompt, I get the "can't find *.bin" error. If I run the
same command from a bash prompt, it works fine. John, can you confirm
this (sorry, I've not downloaded the sources)?
If that is indeed the case, then it all boils down to which shell is
executing the command. If your shell does globbing, it works. If it
doesn't do globbing, the command fails. John, if you put a line into
your makefile to echo $SHELL just before or after the build-prc line,
what do you get? I was getting "command.com" until I set
MAKE_MODE=UNIX.
