Hello,

I'm using clearcase V4.2.
I try to run clearmake (GNU mode) with cygwin sh.exe as it's SHELL like the
following:

clearmake -C gnu SHELL=d:\programme\cygwin\bin\sh.exe


I want to set the PATH inside the makefile - so I use the export command, like

export PATH=......

The problem is, the PATH is reset to NULL string if the lenght is more than 258
characters.
With other Varoables all works fine.

If I try the MKS V6.2 sh.exe all works fine.
If I do not use a sh.exe, so clearmake will use cmd.exe, all works fine too.
If I use make.exe all works fine too.

Perhaps someone else has a solution for my problem.

Here is a short example makefile and some output calling make and clearmake
Sorry cause of very long lines .....
