I have a small C# application that I want to call from a makefile. The
application runs correctly when run from a batch file, and when run from
a Windows XP command line.
However, when attempting to call the application from within a makefile
- the application fails.
Now - this is probably down to something I'm doing somewhere in either
the makefile or the C# app - but I'm damned if I can spot it.
I've tried running "make -n > test.bat" and running the .bat file by
hand - and it works fine. Running the C# app directly from the
makefile fails.
The C# code is fairly simple... it just uses class serialization to load
an XML file.
static public bool LoadConfigFile(string inFilename, ref InputConfigurations
outConfig)
{
XmlSerializer s = null;
TextReader r = null;
try
{
s = new XmlSerializer(typeof(InputConfigurations));
}
catch( Exception e )
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message + "\n" + e.Source + "\n" +
e.ToString());
Console.WriteLine( "Error -- unable to create serialization for '" +
outConfig.ToString() + "'" );
return false;
}
try {
r = new StreamReader(inFilename);
outConfig = (InputConfigurations)s.Deserialize(r);
r.Close();
}
catch( Exception e )
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message + "\n" + e.Source + "\n" +
e.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Error -- unable to serialize input file '" +
inFilename + "'");
if (r != null)
r.Close();
return false;
}
return true;
}
Nothing particularly special - it all just works fine outside of make.
However - running the C# exe from within make results in the following
error...

I'm running make 3.80, and I'm using Windows XP (SP2). I'm running from
an XP DOS Cmdline.
Is there any difference in the executable environment set up by make?
Thanks in advance.
