RE: [Tinycc-devel] I want to port make on Windows using tcc compiler

[Christian Jullien]

Sure, with pleasure.

Because I've troubles running the suite, if you want to test yourself it
I've put a copy here:

wget http://www.eligis.com/make.exe 

I also tried myself and downloaded your patched archive to give a try.
I'm probably doing something wrong with it.

After extraction and copying make.exe (built with tcc) at the root here is
what I did

c:\downloads\make-4.3>set PATH=c:\downloads\make-4.3;%PATH%
c:\downloads\make-4.3>make --version

You will not see it but there are lot of ^M floating in the logs, I'm
forcing them below:

While we are waiting: Christian, did you happen to run the GNU Make
test suite with the tcc-built Make?  The test suite needs some patches
to run reasonably well on MS-Windows, but you can find the patched
tests here:

 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ezwinports/files/make-4.3-w32-src.zip/downl
oad

I'd be interested to see the results reported by the test suite for
your build.  For the reference, the MinGW build fares like so:

  49 Tests in 19 Categories Failed

(out of 638 tests).

Thanks.
