2005-08-25If we're on a DOS/W32/OS2 system and we're not using a unixy shell, don'tPaul Smith1-10/+10
follow POSIX backslash/newline conventions. Use a different method for testing the SHELL variable, which hopefully will work better on non-UNIX systems.

2004-11-28Fix for bug #1276: Handle SHELL according to POSIX requirements.Paul Smith1-0/+49
POSIX requires that the value of SHELL in the makefile NOT be exported to sub-commands. Instead, the value in the environment when make was invoked should be passed to the environment of sub-commands. Note that make still uses SHELL to _run_ sub-commands; it just doesn't change the value of the SHELL variable in the environment of sub-commands. As an extension to POSIX, if the makefile explicitly exports SHELL then GNU make _will_ use it in the environment of sub-commands.
