SHELL

[Ashley Holland]

Hi, I am getting rather confused using mingw32-make.exe and I hope
that someone can help.

I have a VERY simple makefile

SHELL = /bin/sh

all:
        @echo $(SHELL)


and the echo only works if I DONT have an sh.exe somewhere in my PATH,
which is not what I expected.

I get the error 

mingw32-make.exe all 
process_begin: CreateProcess((null), echo C:/mingw/bin/sh.exe, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.

mingw32-make.exe: *** [all] Error 2

If sh.exe is in  C:/mingw/bin/sh.exe.


Can anyone help explain this?

Thanks,

Ashley
