If your assessment is accurate, this is an issue for the autoconf folks,
not me. For those on the autoconf list, this version of GNU make is
built with autoconf 2.59. In my configure.in script I test the value of
PATH_SEPARATOR to choose whether to support DOS-style pathnames:
# If we're building on Windows/DOS/OS/2, add some support for DOS drive specs.
if test "$PATH_SEPARATOR" = ';'; then
AC_DEFINE(HAVE_DOS_PATHS, 1,
[Define this if your system requires backslashes or drive
specs in pathnames.])
fi
That's about it. Let me know if you would like more info.
FYI, the beta release discussed here is available in
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make/.
Thanks.
