> sh & make Are we talking GNU Make, nmake, BSD Make? (Isn't this why autotools exist in the first place -- to make something allegedly cross-platform for different flavors of Make)? I get bitten repeatedly by sh being a symlink to different Shells, even though I've been using it for many years. The most recent piece of insanity being "cd foo bar" resulting in an error, but changing to foo directory while in some other version simply resulting in an error. Also, error reporting. It's way too broken to consider sh a reliable tool. I wish things could be done with very simple tools and all this complexity around them was unnecessary. Unfortunately, here, this complexity while isn't unavoidable is indeed warranted due to abysmal quality of the simple tools.
