Point of my post wasn't "making it work" however, but seeing if there's interest in increasing the user friendliness of the Makefile for Windows users. :) On Sat, May 28, 2011 at 11:44 AM, Oliver Schmidt <ol.sc@web.de> wrote: > The -p switch is actually necessary.

By "Windows compatibility" I meant what I was talking about in my post, i.e. it working properly when called from cmd.exe (of course make from MinGW/whatever is required as well). This would mean replacing mkdir/rmdir/rm/etc with Windows equivalents when Windows is detected. It's up to you if you want to pursue that or not. Let me clarify just so we're clear: I don't think this is a big deal at all. I can get by well without it, it's just something I noticed while working with the Makefile. > Rather you need additional software to use the Makefile on Windows - > and if you install the right software, it'll work on Windows (i.e. I > run Windows exclusively) so it's Winmdows compatible from that > perspective.

I'll try it out and let you know. I agree UnxUtils isn't great (make in it seems to be quite broken for example, so I've been using MinGW make) but it works well enough for the simple stuff... -thefox ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.Received on Sat May 28 14:13:30 2011
