I just installed Cygwin from scratch and I'm having gnu make trouble.
Given this Makefile ...............
A:
find . -name xx \! -path \*foo\*B:
find . -name xx \! -path \*foo\* >&1..................
Notice that "make A" and "make B" are virtually identical.
$ make -f broke_make A find . -name xx \! -path \*foo\*
find: paths must precede expression
Usage: find [path...] [expression]
make: *** [A] Error 1
$ make -f broke_make B find . -name xx \! -path \*foo\* >&1
After doing an strace, I noticed that B will invoke sh.exe and A will not. I also noticed that the "\!" for A does not turn into the "!" as in the B case when find.exe is exec()ed.
So, it seems like gmake has a problem with parsing the command line. This works fine on non cygwin machines with the same version of make.
Has anyone seen this before ?
I have earlier versions of Cygwin where this works fine.
