Re: Windows shell discovery (was: Re: Incorrect path and shell script error)

Alright so I added the path to the cmd.exe and I now see a different error. This is the output while running make.

C:\Users\bl68969.JDNET\Projects\HHP2\Code\M2_501\ProgramSpecific\MakeFileBuild>make

echo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A subdirectory or file C:\Users\BL6896~1.JDN\AppData\Local\Temp\make75042.sh already exists.

Error occurred while processing: C:\Users\BL6896~1.JDN\AppData\Local\Temp\make75042.sh.

make: *** [dirs] Error 1

Yes, "SHELL = cmd.exe" in the Makefile should be a good first step.
