My impression from lurking on the cmake mailing list was that cmake carefully distinguishes between the two MinGW variants (one with a shell and one without) and had a separate generator for each that the user could specify with the -G option. If the user specifies a non-shell cmake generator, but that generator stops if it finds a shell, that is a cmake bug which should be reported since obviously people would like to try/test the non-shell version of MinGW generator even if they have a shell installed. Note, I am just reporting what I remember from CMake list traffic about MinGW, and my memory could be completely wrong about what kinds of generators are available and the user control over them. :-( Alan __________________________ Alan W.
