GNU make, as required by POSIX, always invokes /bin/sh to run commands.
If you want a different shell, set the make variable SHELL to something
else:
SHELL = /bin/ksh
If I were you, I'd not do this (it's not portable; ksh is not available
everywhere) and instead fix your commands so they only required a POSIX
shell and didn't require ksh.
In the particular instance you posted about you can do that simply by
making the export a separate operation; /bin/sh doesn't support doing it
in one command:
J2EE_CVS= CVSROOT=:pserver:$(shell whoami)@cvchost.bmc.com:/home/cvs/src; export
CVSROOT
Alternatively you could do this:
J2EE_CVS= CVSROOT=:pserver:$(shell whoami)@cvchost.bmc.com:/home/cvs/src
get_j2ee:
$(J2EE_CVS) cvs co -A j2ee
which would also work with all POSIX shells.
