I usually create a little compile script which sets the environment variables the way I want, and calls make or gmake appropriately. For the test suite you can set (if necessary): test_cmp TAR 'git grep' sometimes calls native grep. You can disallow this by setting the Makefile variable NO_EXTERNAL_GREP. And of course SHELL_PATH can be used to set the path to the shell that all shell code should be executed with. -brandon -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
