Subject: Update on status of make-3.82 release for cygwin
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2010 19:42:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100810175435.GA27225@ednor.casa.cgf.cx> (raw)
I wanted to let everyone know that I'm aware of the fact that make-3.82
has been released. However, given the number of reported problems in
the make bugs mailing list, I don't plan on releasing a new version of
GNU make until the dust has settled. That means no new version of make
for at least a month.
Also, given the ability to use more UNIX-like filenames in Cygwin 1.7.x,
I'm contemplating not doing what I'd previously mentioned - using new
changes in GNU make to allow MS-DOS file names like "c:\foo" in
makefiles. I'll have to investigate just how much the Windows-isms in
GNU make's code impact Cygwin make before I make a final determination.
I may just decide to reenable the --ms-dos option as it used to be in
the old days. Or, if that's too much work, I might just turn off
special-case handling of c:\blah entirely - just like it is in
make-3.81.
FYI.
