From: mbaker AT abac DOT com (Mark Baker) Subject: Make: MAKE_MODE, Backslash, Semicolon 7 Jul 1998 02:15:08 -0700 Message-ID: <01BDA8E5.BE2F7400.mbaker.cygnus.gnu-win32@abac.com> To: "'gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com'" Hi, I'm having trouble with the following makefile: all: set x=c:\dos;c:\windows where X is intended to be an environment variable for the command.com shell. If MAKE_MODE=unix, then I get: c:windows: not found If MAKE_MODE=null, then I get: Bad command or filename Change the line to: set x=c:\dos\;c:\windows If MAKE_MODE=unix, then it works. If MAKE_MODE=null, then I get: Bad command or filename There seems to be a problem with the semicolon that makes it require a backslash before it and then it only works with MAKE_MODE=UNIX. Same problems occur with set x=c:/dos;c:/windows and set x=c:\\dos;c:\\windows I am using make 3.75-B19. I am using the new Windows 98 operating system. - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
