Hi Sebastien,
About the problem: gmake begin_process CreateProcess failed.
This is my experience: The Windows PATH variable is to long. gmake runs in
something like a DOS environment. It can not handle more than 256 characters.
The solution: delete from the PATH variable what you don't need.

I believe make works already pretty well with UTF-8 as it is. The only thing
you really need to think about i

Well, filenames that contain newlines can't be represented either.

There is no way to do this, which is why it's not describe
GNU Make 3.80 (as shipped with SuSE Linux 9.1)
BUG1:
The GNU make 3.80 manual lacks a section on quoting of special
characters that describes how any arbitrary byte sequence can be
provided as a prerequisite or a target in a rule. There are only brief
discussions on how to quote % and $, but not
10 matches
