Follow-up Comment #11, bug #56449 (project make): > I also remember that using echo is not a good idea for demonstration with make.
I also mentioned calling a Windows program with the argument of %%. The program in this case gets the literal two % characters in its argv[] array. If you invoke your argv.exe program from cmd.exe prompt with "%%" as a command-line argument, don't you see the same output as what mingw-make.exe produced before this change? That is what I see, and that tells me that the change is simply wrong, as it makes GNU Make behave like a batch file processor, which is not what's expected. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?56449> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
