Details:
Hi,
when using cmd.exe as SHELL and MAKESHELL, make nowadays supports using a
shortcut to not create a temporary .bat-file. This works great except under
the following circumstances:
If an argument to a command is quoted and contains a wildcard, and a filename
matches this wildcard then this argument is expanded. This behavior is
different from the behavior on a unixy system or when a temporary batch-file
is used.
This problem happens when the command is a cygwin command (and I'm using a
mingw-built make). I don't think it happens when running a native windows
command, but I'm not sure about this.
This problem seems to persist in 4.0 and 4.1.
I'm attaching a trivial example Makefile and script to reproduce this
problem.
Cheers and thanks,
Stefan.
