Hello,

after some days using the new make 3.79 I found following problems:

a) The archive make3-79.tar.gz in latest omits the make.info* files for version 3.79 provided by the FSF
b) The variable MAKE should be automatically set to the file name used to invoke make. In 3.79 it seems to be a single space prohibiting the execution of recursive make commands following the advice given by the make manual.
c) Using @ to hide the line echo within a define will treat all following lines as the @ was given too and the line echo is wrongly suppressed. This makes debugging of makefiles really painful.

Bugs demonstrated with following makefile. Call
make MAKE=`which make` SHOW=
to see correct behaviour.

Unfortunately I have no Linux system running to determine wether these are general make 3.79 bugs or bugs caused by the Cygwin port.

Greetings
Jörg

Subject:  [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: make 3.79



I've uploaded a new version of make to sourceware/pub/cygwin/latest.
This is make version 3.79 straight from the FSF with the usual Cygwin
modifications to support the MAKE_MODE=unix, MAKE_MODE=windows, --unix,
--windows, abomin.., er, features.

I've also turned on the code in make which eats CRs before LFs so
that it should no longer matter if a makefile has CRLF line endings
in a binary mounted directory.

To update your installation, CREATE AN EMPTY DIRECTORY, cd to it, and
download the latest version of setup.exe from the cygwin/latest
directory at a cygwin mirror site near you.  Then type:

setup make

Answer the questions as you did when you first installed cygwin.  This
procedure should only update the make package.

Once the setup is complete you may remove this newly created directory.
It will contain the setup.exe program, a setup log file, and the
make tar file.  None of these are needed for further operation of make
but you can keep them around if you are interested in reinstalling
stuff later.

As usual, I have only updated sourceware.  The make files will take a
while to propagate to the mirror sites.

Also, note that I am not the normal Cygwin make maintainer.  Eric
Christopher had volunteered for this duty and will be making future
releases.  He's recently moved to a new job within Red Hat, however,
and hasn't had a lot of time.  I thought I should make it a priority
to make a new release of make which does not make funny error messages when
confronted with files who were made with "incorrect" line endings.

FWIW I'm using an older b20.1 snapshot cygwin1.dll and I can't reproduce
this with make V3.79. The $(MAKE) macro expands to 'make' and the second
echo command is echoed by make before execution, as expected.

I can't duplicate this on Windows 95 or Windows NT with cygwin 1.1.2
on either text or binary mounted partitions with either CRLF or LF
line endings.

It works the same way with make 3.79 on both linux and windows.

Would you be willing to re-release your package with the info files
included?

Thanks,
Jason

Done.  I've modified my "netrel" script to hopefully eliminate this
oversight in the future.

I've just sent out an announcement to cygwin-announce.
