The makefile testdir/Make_ming.mak contains statements of the form:
if exist test.ok $(DEL) test.ok
which can only be executed by one of the DOS/Windows command shells such
as command.com or cmd.exe
My version of make, gnu 3.82.90, sets the SHELL make variable to the
value "C:/MinGW/msys/1.0/sh.exe", a unix shell, and so all such
if-statements fail.
This can be sidestepped by setting SHELL=cmd.exe on the make command
line but then unix utilities such as "rm" are used instead of "del" and
DIRSLASH is set to "/" instead of "\" and so vim.exe cannot be launched
to run the test (cmd.exe does not accept forward slashes in paths).
This new problem is caused by an incorrectly constructed if-test in the
makefile:
ifneq(sh.exe,$(SHELL))
followed by unix-style definitions. I think that the author had
intended this
ifeq(sh.exe, $(SHELL))
but this won't work either because the value of SHELL will include a
full path, if make is allowed to define it.
The correct construct is this:
ifeq(sh.exe, $(notdir $(SHELL)))
which strips the path information from SHELL before the comparison.
This is all interesting but mostly irrelevant. The bottom line is that
a DOS shell must be used and so my suggestion is:
1. remove the if-block that defines the unix utilities and retain
the else-block, and
2. define SHELL=cmd.exe in the makefile.
