- Subject: The "make" command and file handle problem
On cygwin1.3.12-1, I am running a multi-level makefile.
For some reason the top level make seems corrupt the file handle
of the its sub-process. (redirected i/o no longer works in the sub-process).
Note that my top level makefile is a very complex makefile, it probably
works fine if you have a simple makefile.
Fortunately, I stumble across a workaround; It turns out if you spawn
the lower level make via the DOS shell, the problem goes away.
e.g.
low_level_target:
cd sub_dir && cmd /c make low_level_stuff;
Hope this will save someone sometime...
If anyone have some insight into what might have caused this, pls drop
us a note...
thanks
Andrew Chang
