I have a Makefile with a command like this:mkdir -p /opt/billgatliff/{usr,lib} Works fine under Linux, but not on the latest Cygwin. Under Cygwin, what I actually get is a directory called "{usr", instead of "usr". Other variations on this brace expansion (in tar arguments, etc.) produce similar problems. I checked this: $ set | grep SHELL SHELL=/bin/bash Seems fine. But when I do this: $ make SHELL=/bin/sh ...
^^ "bash"
I'm guessing that you meant to type "bash" in the email. Either way, cygwin make seems to ignore the environment variable SHELL, and uses '/bin/sh' unless you specify on the command-line or in the makefile.I actually get what I'm after, i.e. "usr" instead of "{usr".
I was able to reproduce this.
Use this as a makefile
all:
echo a{1,2}
Then run "make" and it will output "a{1,2}", but if you run "make SHELL=/bin/bash" it will output "a1 a2".
