Actually, Cygwin port of GNU make uses sh.exe as the default SHELL variable
unlike the other Unix ports' /bin/sh. Which means that if sh.exe is not in
the PATH, then it won't work. Of course, the solution is trivial:
$ make SHELL=/path/to/sh.exe ...
Try the following to check:
$ cat foo.mak
all:
@echo "SHELL = $(SHELL)"
@$(SHELL) -c "echo SHELLOPTS = $$SHELLOPTS"
$ make -f foo.mak
SHELL = sh.exe
sh.exe -c "echo SHELLOPTS = $SHELLOPTS"
SHELLOPTS =
$ make SHELL=bash -f foo.mak
SHELL = bash
bash -c "echo SHELLOPTS = $SHELLOPTS"
SHELLOPTS = braceexpand:hashall:interactive-comments
Remember running into this issue before Cygwin adopted the current (and
sane!) layout..
