I'm trying to use a shell different from cmd.exe within gnu make on
NT. I should be able to add a line to the Makefile like
SHELL = sh
for example to use the MKS shell. But doing this simply produces the
error message /c: /c: not found. Modifying it to
SHELL = sh -c
reduces the message to /c: not found, however adding another -c
doesn't help. Suggestions anyone? This sort of thing works properly
under unix versions of gnu make.
