That won't work well: One would get something like the following C:\blah>gmake -n clean cc -c -o rm.o -c rm.c cc -o rm.exe rm.o rm rm.o rm.exe Personally, I distribuite a zip containing a (less than minimal) set of win32 executables, including gmake.exe, needed for building my software. As a side effect, that increases GNU software installations. _______________________________________________ Make-w32 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/make-w32
