The problem is, even if the shell runs a .exe program, and that program fails, the Windows 9x shell doesn't return the failing exit status, it always returns zero. And in those cases, you _do_ care about the true exit status, because you want Make to know about the failure. > Also what I vote for is to remove the dependency of $(SHELL) on > the PATH setting on the user's computer. I'm not sure I understand; can you elaborate? _______________________________________________ Make-w32 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/make-w32
