if construct doesn't work in makefile

2004-11-11 Thread Prasad, Kanuparthi
Hi,

  In my make file I am trying to check whether a directory exists or not
then set a path differently if doesn't exist.
  I am using cygwin installed on windows 2000.
  The if construct I have is as follows.

  if test [-dc:/tools]; then DRIVE = c:/tools; else DRIVE = c:/altTools; fi

 pls help me out.

Regards,
sitaram

Hi,

 I tried, but it doesn't work. I tried using cygwin syntax to access drives.
but invain.
 Also I tried by typing this script at the prompt. but it doesn't work the
way it is expected.
 Should I need to execute it in a separate shell, if so, how is it done.

Thanks  Regards,
sitaram

Try
if test [-dc:/tools] ; then DRIVE=c:/tools; else DRIVE=c:/altTools; fi
instead, and/or use cygwin syntax to access drives.
