RE: [Tinycc-devel] I want to port make on Windows using tcc compiler

[Christian Jullien]

I try to keep my dev. Machine a lite as possible so I'll decline to install
more tools (sorry).
If you have time, you can test with the binary I dropped on my site?

What's this about?  Are you running this with Cygwin tools on PATH?
That's a recipe for disaster, you should run this from cmd.exe, and
you should have native Windows ports of Coreutils and of Perl
installed.  That's how I run the test suite.

Sorry, I should have said that explicitly before luring you into this
adventure.  Working with Cygwin ports will need an entirely different
set of patches to the test suite.
