jb> Nehep, that does not really feel so good. Just to be clear, I'm not saying that there are bugs in the Windows version of make that are found by the regression suite. There may be, of course, I don't know. However, what I DO know is that in the cases where someone has investigated the failures so far they've turned out to be differences in the environment between UNIX and Windows: features that aren't available but that the regression tests still check for, or the regression tests themselves use some UNIX capabilities such as symbolic links or shell commands that don't exist or work differently on Windows, etc. I would like to have the regression tests get a 100% pass rate on Windows but for that to happen someone is going to have to investigate how to reproduce or rewrite the functionality which is failing. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
