Pb with GNUMake

[patrice . boyron]

Dear support,


We have bought your CD-ROM "GNU Software for MS-Windows and MS-DOS".

Currently, I'm trying to port my Makefile written from NMake to GnuMake (V3.79.1.) using Windows NT system (and Windows 2000 later).

We have found the following troubles, and I suspect these are technical limitations. Please, could you confirm or infirm this, and how to workaround it.
        1/ Executing the given command:
                pl16cc -c -mdata-sec-.DSECT,mydata  -mfile-io -fcall-used-r0 -fcall-used-r1  -O0 -g3 -Wall -emul -ID:\palm16\include -I. -ID:\Philips\Idk\Shl\Include Main.c -o Main.o
           Causes the following message:
                make.exe: ***[Main.o] Error -1
           Although the same command executed directly under DOS prompt is OK.

        2/ When using a pathname or a filename exeeding 8.3 notation causes an error like file not found


Thank you for your help to workaround this.
Best regards.
Patrice.

Make uses the exit code of the programs it runs to decide whether the
command succeeded or not.  Standard behavior is that a successful
completion exits with a 0 exit code, and any other exit code is an
error.

Your program above is exiting with a -1, so make thinks it failed.

To me this sounds like you are using the DOS version of GNU make.
Please try running a version of make built specifically for Windows (the
W32 platform).
