Re: GNU make doesn't use windows cmd.exe shell

[Sebastian WAGNER]

No, when I set the SHELL variable nothing changes.
I don't have the cygwin\bin in my PATH, to see if it works. So when I start the make I get bin\sh: command not found -> this is why I think it is still trying to use the cygwin sh shell.

Not shure if this is a bug...!?

Anyway, I will try to use MinGW .. hope that it works correctly.

3.82 is now available:

If it says
 make: c:windowssystem32cmd.exe: Command not found
then you might instead try writing forward slashes:

 SHELL = c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe

But, as long as you're using cmd.exe instead of sh, it would probably
be better to use a native 'make'. It should build right out of the box,
or you can download a precompiled binary here:
