Re: Re: New make PATH problem(?)

Eli,
Thanks for the suggestion. The original Makefile outputs a great deal to the console.
I commented out everything but the problematic code, which still demonstrates the problem.
The modified Makefile is:

        all: clean refman.pdf

        pdf: refman.pdf

        refman.pdf: refman.tex
        #	pdflatex refman.tex
        #	makeindex refman.idx
        #	pdflatex refman.tex
            latex_count=5 ; \
            while egrep -s 'Rerun (LaTeX|to get cross-references right)' refman.log && [ $$latex_count -gt 0 ] ;\
                do \
                  echo "Rerunning latex...." ;\
                  pdflatex refman.tex ;\
                  latex_count=`expr $$latex_count - 1` ;\
                done


        clean:
            rm -f *.ps *.dvi *.aux *.toc *.idx *.ind *.ilg *.log *.out refman.pdf


I then ran make on this Makefile with the --debug=vj option using both the earlier and the latest make versions

Case (1)
C:\msys\1.0\bin in PATH, mingw32-make (from mingw32-make-3.81-2.tar.gz) and --debug=vj

As I am sure you expected, Case (2) does not have a statement like
    find_and_set_shell path search set default_shell = C:/msys/1.0/bin/sh.exe
Maybe I need to have a macro or something set.

Thanks,
Bob
