Eugene, Not that I'm a make expert, but I've been hacking on some makefiles recently... Not to mention I stayed in the Cupertino Inn last night. Each line of the recipe in the makefile should invoke a unique instance of the shell. Thus it seems you are invoking the wrong shell so take a look at: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Choosing-the-Shell.html Seems the default on MS-DOS/MS-Windows for the shell in a makefile is funky. Thanks, Andrew Fish PS If you end up writing a top level GNUmakefile a parallel build, `make -j 4`, of the BaseTools can fail. If you need this to work you can add ".NOTPARALLEL:" to your top level makefile or the BaseTools GNUmakefile. > Thanks, > > Eugene > > > > _______________________________________________ > edk2-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel
