Dear Madams and Sirs, for more then 5 years we used the GNU Make version 3.76.1 at PCs with OS Win98. Now we changed to GNU Make version 3.79.1 which comes with the mingw32 Compiler. Since this time we are not able to run the old makefiles of already existimg projects.
The result for the following lines on the same PC with OS Win98 is completely different. all: cd test dir > content.txt cd .. Make 3.76.1 does the change of directory as expected, make 3.79.1 does not Is this problem of the PC-Binary already known and is there a later version with a bugfix availiable? Thanks for your help in advance and kind regards Gerd Igelmann Germany Revision Info: GNU Make version 3.76.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
