Cygwin/ClearCase users groups:
I am on WinNT 4.0 using ClearCase 3.2.1-20, and using Cygwin v1.0 as my SHELL.
I can't seem to execute Cygwin's make and have it call clearmake which
then calls clearmake one more time.
If I keep the test to only using make, then it works.
If I keep the test to only using clearmake, then it works.
If I call clearmake first, then use make inside the makefile, then it works.
I just can't call make first then be using clearmake inside the makefile.
Anybody run into this problem? and then have a solution...
----------------------------------------------------------------
Reproduction:
$ cat temp.mak
SHELL=c:/Cygwin/bin/sh.exe
one:
@echo "inside one"
clearmake -C gnu -kw -f temp.mak two
two:
@echo "inside two"
clearmake -C gnu -kw -f temp.mak three
three:
@echo "inside three"
----------------------------------------------------------------
$ make -k -f temp.mak one <--- Using make initially
inside one
clearmake -C gnu -kw -f temp.mak two
clearmake[1]: Entering directory "v:\vobsTransact\build"
echo "inside two" <--- failure. It does not execute this.
clearmake -C gnu -kw -f temp.mak three <--- failure. It does not execute this.
clearmake[1]: Leaving directory "v:\vobsTransact\build"

----------------------------------------------------------------
$ clearmake -C gnu -k -f temp.mak one <--- Using clearmake initially
inside one
clearmake -C gnu -kw -f temp.mak two
clearmake[1]: Entering directory "v:\vobsTransact\build"
inside two <---- Success
clearmake -C gnu -kw -f temp.mak three
clearmake[2]: Entering directory "v:\vobsTransact\build"
inside three <---- Even further Success
clearmake[2]: Leaving directory "v:\vobsTransact\build"
clearmake[1]: Leaving directory "v:\vobsTransact\build"

Reason why I need this capability.
Some targets build programs that ask for input from user.
clearmake does not support interactive programs, thus must use make
from start to finish. Other targets I want to use clearmake.
So there is a decision process embedded in the makefiles whether to
switch to different makes and would like to keep them there.
(Aside: clearmake does NOT work with Cygwin B20.
clearmake DOES work with Cygwin v1.0 withoug modifications to sh.exe
although I have other issues with Cygwin v1.0 whereas v1.0 does not behave
like b20. Some for the better, some for the worse.)
