Summary: Allow to switch shell batch mode at runtime instead of build time Project: make Submitted by: None Submitted on: Thu 16 Jan 2014 05:58:28 AM UTC Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Component Version: SCM Operating System: MS Windows Fixed Release: None Triage Status: None _______________________________________________________ Details: I've been successfully using a pristine build of make 4.0 on windows to build Firefox for a few weeks now, after avoiding the sh.exe issues by using single quotes instead of double quotes, but we unfortunately have some other nasty makefiles that are *very* hard to fixup this way without spending a huge amount of time rewriting it, and i would very much like to be able to just make that one makefile use a pristine build of make 4.0 as if it were built with BATCH_MODE_ONLY_SHELL defined. The attached patch allows us to special-case that specific Makefile. _______________________________________________________ File Attachments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu 16 Jan 2014 05:58:28 AM UTC Name: diff Size: 1kB By: None Proposed patch <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=30286> _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?41246> _______________________________________________ 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
