I have make 3.80 from a recent cygwin update. I am attempting to
create a Visual Studio project that will invoke this make and from
there on I can update a (reasonable) makefile instead of a Visual
Studio project.
My problem is that when I invoke make from a bash shell everything is
ok. When it's invoked from inside the bowels of Visual Studio I get
an error:
./Components/CygwinTools/Utils/bash: /c: No such file or directory
My makefile has SHELL defined as:
SHELL := ../Components/CygwinTools/Utils/bash
To follow up and answer my own question (and preserve this for future
Google searches). I found 2 different solutions.
The first was to use sh instead of bash as the shell. I would have
initially and never had this problem, but something with my latest
cygwin install removed sh.exe. Re-installing ash from the cygwin tool
fixed that and then I copied over sh.exe and started using it.
The second solution was suggested by Dave Hylands (Thanks Dave!!) - that
is to set the environment variable MAKE_MODE=unix as documented in the
fine cygwin documentation.
Thanks,
Dan
