Does make.exe in mk373b.zip support long file names ??
When I compile a small c program with a long file name
using the default make database (no makefile), it does not
recognise the .c extension on the source file (I think !!)

If I rename the file to a shorter name, it compiles just fine.

I have added LFN=Y in both the environment, and in djgpp.env.
I have also disabled name-mungeling with NameNumericTail=0 in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem
in the registry, but no luck !!

Any idea ??


Here is a console snapshot:

What am I doing wrong ?? Any help is appreciated.



BTW: Has someone ported /bin/[sh,bash] to DOS ?? (Yes, I know this
is an ugly task, so no flames!) A limited version of sh, would 
simplify porting from UNIX to DOS, because many makefiles is using
/bin/sh

Geir.
