[AD] mingw make is bad.

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.liballeg.org/allegro-developers Archives ]


seems like the recent make utility that comes with mingw-2.0.0 is seriously screwed. it wrongly sets UNIX_TOOLS on the MSYS test ($SHELL is not set), and it also croaks on the first command of make -n, which is a simple echo!?! the problem it seems is that make tries to execute a command directly instead of opening it in a subshell as it should. i've also tried out different make programs, no luck. sad, in msys everything works like a dream.

temporary fix: instead of adding "c:\develop\mingw\bin" to the PATH, i added "c:\develop\mingw\bin;c:\develop\msys\bin" which seems to keep make happy. but that means we're dependant on msys. :-(

oh and btw. dibhello.c uses a depreciated textout_centre().
