One of the goals of the original Rob Tulloh's implementation was to allow ':' as a separator. (He arrived to the point to explain how to disambiguate directory names consisting of a single character by rewriting them as "X/." rather than "X" so that in "X/.:/Y/." the colon could be parsed properly...) However, I've also never seen setting PATH in the makefile. It is not a portable setting, particularly across different OSes. _______________________________________________ Make-w32 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/make-w32
