make-3.80, and prior using MS Windows 2000 Server SP2

[Willie B.]

Hi - Please send any replies to address@hidden

I will be using GNUMake with Oracle Applications on Windows 2000 for maintenance.
I should mention I have MS Visual C++ with SP5 and MKS Toolkit for Developers 8.1 installed in simple no space paths.

I had downloaded the latest version make-3.80, but had no success in building gnumake with build_w32.bat

nmake /f Nmakefile also did not do the trick. I found on some notes from a forum on Oracle's Metalink Support site
that this release was not working for them, while some prior releases were.

Surely, when I downloaded make-3.79.1 it was successful. I did have to follow an Oracle note to copy config.h.w32 as config.h first or it would fail the first run, but succeed the second.

I also tried make-3.78.1, and make-3.77, and they also seemed to work. So it looks like make-3.80 may have an issue here.

Some errors using nmake /f NMakefile are below.

I ran the tests on 3.79.1 against that executable and two failed:
features/parallelalism
options/dash-l
