Re: Re: New make PATH problem(?)

[Chris Sutcliffe]

I've finally had some time to dig in to this and I've found the problem.

For some reason, with the patched 3.81, when I run configure from MSYS
the following is defined:

#define PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR ':'

Which doesn't make sense when running in cmd.com, since that's not the
path separator.  When I comment out that line in config.h and build
make, everything works like it should:

C:\cygwin\usr\src\make\build5>make -f \source\Makefile --debug=vj

echo hello

So now I need to figure out why PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR define is getting
set with all the patches applied.  Eli, would you have any ideas?
