Follow-up Comment #3, bug #30323 (project make):
Hi Eli,
> GetModuleFileName is available on Windows 9X as well.
I see. Thanks for the hint.
> So I think the current code is allright even on older Windows versions.
> If you have a practical case weher this API doesn't work on Windows 9X,
please show the Makefile and the error messages.
I'm quite sure that there's a misunderstanding :-(
The current code doesn't use GetModuleFileName() _NOR_ the proposed _pgmptr.
Therefore it is certainly compatible with older Windows versions.
My proposal is to use one _OR_ the other instead of the current code using
argv[0]. So I was only caring about the compatibility of my proposal with
older Windows versions.
My proposal makes sure that MAKE_COMMAND always contains an absolute path
regardless of circumstances under which GNU make was called.
As far as I see there's no need to discuss/prove that an absolute path in
MAKE_COMMAND is desirable as the current code itself contains a comment
pointing out (one incarnation of) the problem:
"If it is a name with no slash, we can only hope that PATH did not find it in
the current directory."
