Hello People, I'm attaching a very simple makefile that have some problem with command interpreter on Windows XP. I haven't found something on the documentation and i'm still trying to figure out if is it there a problem on my set up. Command: make clean OS: Windows XP version 2002, service pack 2 make version: 3.80 It interprets rmdir /q /s lib as rmdir /q, rmdir /s and rmdir lib with errors. I'll appreciate any feedback! Thank's and best regards, Pablo YX Wireless S.A. www.yx.cl # clean - deletes everything that can be rebuilt maintgt: @echo main target .PHONY: clean clean: @echo make version 3.80 and Windows XP 2002 SP2 rmdir /q /s lib ___ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make

[gnu.org #286638] Finding Gmake
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - Tue May 02 14:59:45 2006]: Software everywhere tells you to 'use gmake, which is freely available from gnu's site'. So why when you go to gnu's site does 'search' for 'gmake' not find it? Apparently because gnu calls it GNU Make. Why not add a little page explaining this? I'm not the only person who had this problem (google 'download gmake' to see what I mean). The #1 result for a google search for gmake is http://www.gnu.org/software/make. As far as I know, it's only called gmake on certain systems, to distinguish it from other versions of make. I'll forward your suggestion to the maintainers of GNU Make, so they can consider it and possibly update the page accordingly. Thanks for the feedback. -- John Sullivan, FSF GNU Chief Webmaster ___ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make

Do you have an rmdir.exe program somewhere on your PATH? Or perhaps you have a Unixy shell sh.exe somewhere? If so, Make will invoke those Unix-style rmdir commands in preference to the cmd.exe built-in. If you want to be sure the cmd's rmdir is invoked, I suggest to modify your Makefile as follows: clean: @echo make version 3.80 and Windows XP 2002 SP2 cmd.exe /c rmdir /q /s lib ___ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
