Hi , I am using Gnu Make 3.80 on windows. I have few Gnu Make operating conditions in some situations under Windows listed in the below. Could you please explain how Gnu Make behaves under these operating conditions? I hope this may take time. Could you please give a quick explanation in less words if possible.
The listed operating conditions are, 1. Assume the Gnu Make tool depends on the environment variable <X>, which is set on installation of the tool. The user does not know this and has accidently redefined <X> to another value. 2. Assume the Gnu Make depends on some dlls from the operating system or other extensions, e.g. service packs or .NET packages. What happens if these dll files are accidently replaced by other versions. Does the tool recognize this, e.g. by checking if the correct versions of expected dlls are present? 3. Assume that the Gnu Make depends on some entries to the windows registry, which are set on installation of the tool. The user has installed other tools, e.g. other versions of the same tool, or done something else, so that these registry values have changed to other values. 4. Assume that somebody has accidently deleted some files from the Gnu Make installation directory, or the installation has not completed. 5. Assume that two instances of the Gnu Make are executed on the same windows session at the same time. Are both instances running completely independently? Is it possible that both instances write/read data, e.g. temporary files, to/from the same resource? 6. Assume the Gnu Make is executed in a situation where the CPU is very busy with executing other programs. Hence, the execution of the tool gets interrupted extremely often. Can this situation cause deviations in the tool’s outputs? 7. Assume the Gnu Make is executed in a situation where the available RAM becomes lower than specified in the minimal system requirements. Can this situation cause deviations in the tool’s outputs? Thank you for your time. Thanks, Chandrababu
