From: Stebbing@ali.com.au (Simon Stebbing) Subject: Calling "del" from makefile's using MAKE 16 Jan 1997 16:56:29 -0800 Approved: cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Original-To: "'gnu-win32@cygnus.com'" X-Mailer: Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector Version 4.0.993.5 Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32@cygnus.com I've had a problem calling the commands built-in to command.com under NT4.0, 'del' is one such example. I assume this is because there is no such thing as del.com or del.exe, and make doesn't call it's commands via command.com. Is there a syntax to indeed call 'del' from within a makefile, without having to write my own "del.exe" or calling any other 'del' equivalent (like rm)? - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
