[Mingw-users] mingw32-make vs. make

[<fk...@go...>]

Hi all,

I would be glad if someone could help me out of this
confusion:

I use a native windows cmd.exe and tried mingw32-make (from
a mingw package) as well as make.exe (msys package).

When it comes to nested quotes I discovered that
mingw32-make-3.81 does not output things as expected, while
make-3.79.1 does.

So I filed a bug with sample Makefile (ID: 2510527) which
was closed, though, with the comment: "mingw32-make simply
doesn't work with MSYS".

However, I did not use the msys environment but the windows
console -- and, shouldn't mingw32-make be the right thing
here? Shall I use make.exe in the windows console?

Any hints welcome..

 Felix
