Hello. I tried DJGPP's Make 3.79, downloaded at DJGPP's download site (mak3791b.zip at http://www.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/) on FreeDOS. It works well when it comes to launching executables. But, when running shell built-in command (echo, dir, copy...), it fails. For example, I created this simple Makefile
all: echo Ciao > ciao.txt and typed make . The following message appears on screen: The path to COMMAND.COM must be fully qualified! That means incl ding a drive letter and beginning with a backslash. For example C:\FDOS COMMAND.COM assumes this path now: <current directory> Unable to open file '<current directory>\COMMAND.COM' Invalid switch. - /dj100000 and the file ciao.txt conta ns Starts a new copy of the FreeDOS command shell. COMMAND [[drive:]path] [device] [/E:nnnnn] [/L:nnnn] [/U:nnn] [/P] [/MSG] [/LOW] [/Y [/[C|K] command]] [drive:]path Specifies the directory containing COMMAND.CO . device Specifies the device to use for command input and output. /E:nnnnn Sets the initial environment size to nnnnn bytes. (nnnnn should be between 256 and 32,768). /L:nnnn Specifies internal b ffers length (requires /P as well). (nnnn should be between 128 and 1,024). /U:nnn Specifies the input buffer length (requires /P as well). (nnn should be between 128 and 255). /P Ma es the new command shell permanent (can't exit). /MSG Stores all error messages in memory (requires /P as well). /LOW Forces the command shell to keep its resident data in low memory. /Y Steps through the batch program specified by /C o . Maybe Make invokes COMMAND.COM with arguments FreeCOM does not recognize. I haven't analyzed Make's source (which is available). No problems occur with MS-DOS version of COMMAND.COM.
