Follow-up Comment #4, bug #34818 (project make): > ... For typical Windows, VMS, OS2, etc. builds GNU make doesn't > run autotools (as I understand it).
Well, _need_ not run autotools, if one is lazy or especially when building on the native OS itself, provided that he has his own build scripts or makefiles, etc. When cross-compiling from linux (or whatever else unix) to windows, djgpp, os2 or whatever, one usually does use and usually prefers using autotools. There you have the problems with autotool's PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR. I do not object to adding OS-specific PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR values to OS-specific config.h templates, however removing those defines from make.h _shall_ lead to trouble. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34818> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
