Yes. I just patched it a bit, to fix a couple of the more blatant bugs (such as not recognizing that when called as `sh.exe', it is supposed to emulate the Bourne shell, like it does if called as `sh'). > If it is, then the toolset you describe is the one I use every > day.

The MinGW port of Make is currently built by the build_w32.bat batch file (and it doesn't require any Unixy shell at all). In the absence of a native Windows port of a shell that would be able to run the configure script, the next step would be to produce a Makefile.W32, which, like Makefile.DOS, could be used to build Make if some other version of Make is already installed. _______________________________________________ Make-w32 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/make-w32
