Hi, i often use "rm -f" OR "cmd /C del /Q" to delete files.
In a portable Makefile i have to set that command conditionally, depending on the OS, which leads to the problem to determine the underlying OS. Is there a bullet-proof way to determine it? Environment variables could be set not properly or also not at all set. Also, i can't set it for every command. Would it be an improvement to add some very often used commands like $(unlink LIST) and $(filecopy LIST) to function.c? Is there a reason why this has not been done yet? Maybe there are some strong arguments against that? Best regards, Torsten. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
