RE: Compiling Problem windows

["Brands Helge" <Helge.Brands@psi.ch>]

Hi Lewis,

I compile with the cygwin environment + VC10. So here the /bin/sh is
available. The perl-script makes the call and in the win32-x86
everything is working. This is what I did not understand.

Hi, Brands.

According to

  <https://code.launchpad.net/~epics-core/epics-base/3.14>,

Andrew Johnson made a change in revision 12242 which may have caused
this new behavior.  This change is likely based on Ben Franksen's email
to Tech-Talk:

  <http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2011/msg01002.php>.

However, since I see the following in your output,

  /bin/sh: REM: command not found

I'm confused as to why you're running "/bin/sh" if you are performing a
native windows-x64 build.  I don't have experience building for Windows,
but that doesn't seem right.  I would expect you to be using cmd.exe for
your build.  Can you try switching to cmd.exe?  I think the build system
is expecting to use REM as a comment, which would work in cmd.exe, but
is not a comment in /bin/sh.
