Re: Setting gmake command arguments in the Strawberry perl CPAN shell

Hi,
I think this happens because gmake finds a file named sh.exe in the PATH -
in your case it's in "C:/Program
Files/AdoptOpenJDK/jdk-14.0.1.7-hotspot/bin/".

In the perl source, the GNUmakefile in the win32 directory avoids this
problem by specifying:

SHELL := cmd.exe

Is that just a way of setting the SHELL environment variable from inside
the makefile ?
Does it help if you set the SHELL environment variable to "cmd.exe" before
starting the build of Alien::wxWidgets :

set SHELL=cmd.exe

Cheers,
Rob
