That is great, thank you very much David! Yes this seems to work so far :) In fact I don't have to use //bin/sh . I can just do ahead of time export MAKEFLAGS='SHELL=<different shell than /bin/sh>'
From: David Boyce <d...@boyski.com> It may still be possible to work around these issues via e.g. the environment. MAKEFLAGS='SHELL=//bin/sh’ make This does two things: 1. By putting the setting in the environment it may survive through intermediate scripts (I thought make did this internally anyway but am not positive). 2. The extraneous slash in //bin/sh defeats the string match, making a modification of the binary unnecessary. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list Help-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
