They should be normally deleted by Make. However, at least the latest two versions of Make (3.80 and 3.81) don't create temporary *.sh files, they run the Unixy shell directly. Temporary files are only created by Make for when the shell is cmd.exe, in which case you should see make-NNN.bat files there. What version of Make do you have, and where did you get the binary? If you compiled the sources yourself, is it possible that you defined BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SHELL in config.h? Finally, versions of Make prior to 3.81 would leave temporary files under the -n option, due to a bug. Is it possible that you invoke Make (or one of its sub-Make's) with the -n option? _______________________________________________ Make-w32 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/make-w32
