RE: "Target pattern contains no %"

[Sathish Kumar Govindasamy]

Hi ,

The sh.exe used in our environment is from the QNX momentics 6.4.0. The
shell prompt
displays as "sh-2.04$" . I really don't have an idea of where it was
ported from.

Does this have anything to do with the error message i am getting. 
My requirement is that "Target pattern contains no %" error which occurs
in Windows should be removed, otherwise
3.80 version of make was fine for me in other aspects. Please advise.

Thanks

Thanks, but I asked for the relevant fragments of your Makefile as
well.  I'd like to see what Make sees there.

Also, do you have some port of a Unixy shell (sh.exe) installed
somewhere on Path?  If so, what kind of shell is that, and where did
you get its port from?

It looks like Make somehow didn't get the quotes in the CFLAGS=
argument, so it tries to interpret it as separate command-line options
to the sub-Make itself.  That is why I asked about the shell you are
using.
