RE: if construct doesn't work in makefile


Hi,

 I tried, but it doesn't work. I tried using cygwin syntax to access drives.
but invain.
 Also I tried by typing this script at the prompt. but it doesn't work the
way it is expected.
 Should I need to execute it in a separate shell, if so, how is it done.

Thanks & Regards,
sitaram

Try
if test [-dc:/tools] ; then DRIVE=c:/tools; else DRIVE=c:/altTools; fi
instead, and/or use cygwin syntax to access drives.
