Re: gnu make and windows path

[Jim]

Thanks for you "extremely" prompt response.

I actually tried this :-(

In my make system I have the below line to include the Visual Studio 7 
"cl.exe" ... from my understanding it is equivalent to what you sent me:

override PATH        :=    
$(DevEnvDir);$(MSVCDir)\BIN;$(VCINSTALLDIR)\Common7\Tools;$(VCINSTALLDIR)\Common7\Tools\bin\prerelease;$(VCINSTALLDIR)\Common7\Tools\bin;$(FrameworkSDKDir)\bin;$(FrameworkDir)\$(FrameworkVersion);$(PATH);

override INCLUDE    :=    
$(MSVCDir)\ATLMFC\INCLUDE;$(MSVCDir)\INCLUDE;$(MSVCDir)\PlatformSDK\include\prerelease;$(MSVCDir)\PlatformSDK\include;$(FrameworkSDKDir)\include;$(INCLUDE)

override LIB        :=    
$(MSVCDir)\ATLMFC\LIB;$(MSVCDir)\LIB;$(MSVCDir)\PlatformSDK\lib\prerelease;$(MSVCDir)\PlatformSDK\lib;$(FrameworkSDKDir)\lib;$(LIB)

However when i execute my build line (which is basically the below):
all:
   echo $(PATH)
   cl /Help

I see:

echo C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 
2003\Common7\IDE;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 
2003\VC7\BIN;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 
2003\Common7\Tools;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 
2003\Common7\Tools\bin\prerelease;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual 
Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual 
Studio .NET 2003\SDK\v1.1\bin;C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322;;
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 
2003\Common7\IDE;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 
2003\VC7\BIN;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 
2003\Common7\Tools;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 
2003\Common7\Tools\bin\prerelease;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual 
Studio .NET 2003\Common7\Tools\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual 
Studio .NET 
2003\SDK\v1.1\bin;C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322;;

cl /Help

'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

When I look at the parts of my path individually i can see the required 
executables in the system file browser.

Cheers and thanks again,
Jim
