>If you want to force make to always start a shell and never use the fast
path the best way is to name your shell something else, like /bin/mgsh or something, then set make's SHELL variable to that path. Since make is no longer sure if your shell is a POSIX shell, it will never use the fast path. I know that Paul :) Every child in kindergarten knows the SHELL hack. Works with one Makefile. Does not work on a massively recursive system. That is my problem. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
