Our NT builds currently work using a version of MKSNT which we want to move away from. We have a lot of directory structure in our build and we use imake to facilitate the making of our product. Imake provides rules for building makefiles. One of those rules is MakeMakeSubdirs. It provides shell code to traverse directory structure. When gmake runs, it requires sh.exe to translate the shell code, generated from the MakeMakeSubdirs rule. When we run using the sh.exe from the Cygwin b20 binaries, we get the error shown below: >gmake Makefiles Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string i:\gnutools\gmake\gmake: [Makefiles] Error 2 (ignored) When we run this same gmake Makefiles command using the sh.exe from MKSNT, everything works correctly. The same lines get generated on all platforms and execute fine on all our unix platforms (solaris, aix, and HPUX). System configuration: NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or with Service Pack 5 GNU Make version 3.76.1 Cygwin B20 We don't know what version of imake.exe (for NT) that we are running. Are you aware of any problems in relationship to using imake and gmake with Cygwin tools. Also, uname.exe returns CYGWIN32_NT. I need this to return Window_NT. Is there a way to make it do this?
