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?
