Please do not CC or Bcc me on mail that is intended for the cygwin mailing list. I read it quite regularly. Anyway, to answer your question: I can't provide any advice. I don't know how to do this. cgf On Mon, Jun 25, 2001 at 03:04:59PM -0700, Earl Chew wrote: >Can anyone offer some advice /bin/sh avoidance with make? > >I'm trying to figure out how to trigger make-3.79.1-3 to avoid >invoking /bin/sh unnecessarily. > >I construct a makefile: > > all: ; sleep 15 > >Then I try: > >bash-2.05$ echo $SHELL >/bin/sh >bash-2.05$ ps > PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND > 317 1 317 317 -1 500 14:59:36 /bin/bash > 261 317 261 458 -1 500 14:59:36 /usr/bin/ps >bash-2.05$ make -f ../foo.mk >ps > PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND > 317 1 317 317 -1 500 14:59:36 /bin/bash > 461 317 461 549 -1 500 14:59:41 /usr/bin/make > 591 461 461 224 -1 500 14:59:41 /bin/sh > 662 591 461 585 -1 500 14:59:41 /usr/bin/ps > >I then try with SHELL unset: > >bash-2.05$ unset SHELL >bash-2.05$ echo $SHELL > >bash-2.05$ make -f ../foo.mk >ps > PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND > 317 1 317 317 -1 500 14:59:36 /bin/bash > 465 317 465 563 -1 500 15:01:41 /usr/bin/make > 666 465 465 620 -1 500 15:01:41 /bin/sh > 699 666 465 710 -1 500 15:01:41 /usr/bin/ps -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
