To be clear: the non-POSIX ports of GNU make are 100% volunteer driven.
None of the official maintainers have any Windows systems: we can't even
run the regression tests on those ports ourselves. We rely completely
on folks on the mailing lists to do all the development, support, and
maintenance of these ports.
So, we cannot take the files and run them, except on POSIX systems,
which seems like it would not be helpful for mingw/msys-specific
errors.
Wow. Well, this explains things. I was wondering my 'make' is so awry on
mingw. It follows the general rule I've found in cross-platform
development is that if the developers don't use a platform, you'll find
more bugs on said platform.
Just to make sure: there's no developers/maintainers on the
[email protected] list who actively or routinely use 'make' on mingw/msys?
As for my project: mingw/msys builds are probably going to take a back seat
to mingw cross-compiles on Debian now. I'm glad you provided this info
Paul; this saves me a lot of potential time.
