Eli, that doesn't make "make" more portable, but if you distribute bash with your makefiles, it makes your makefiles more portable :), literally. Just like "portability" of Java. Some people like it, some don't... I don't, but I have no problem with those who like it as well :).
Cmd is good enough for at least simple tasks. In fact even complex things can be done, as the shell is not and should not be the real factor here. If i really need an advanced shell, I would of course consider something else. And yes, of course bash is much more detailed and powerful, I agree. On the other hand, you can compile QT4.1 without any problems with CMD, whereas run into trouble with a project with 55 files! Obviously all depends on how you write your makefiles, not on make, not on Cmd... Regards, Thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
