RE: type command

[Bob McGowan <bob dot mcgowan at artecon dot com>]

In b19, the sh.exe is a different shell, based on something called ash.
It does not support the shell built-in command "type" (to check, run
"sh"
from the bash command line, then put in the command "type type".  The
ash
shell generates the output "type: not found" while bash says "type is a
shell builtin").  The make is probably running "sh" so if it is actually
ash then you have problems.  Rename sh.exe to ash.exe (if you want to
keep
it), then copy bash.exe to sh.exe.  Hopefully this will fix the problem.

Subject: type command


Hi everybody,

I'm trying to call type command from my makefile. But it gives the error

that : "type not found", 
 whereas the same command runs on the bash prompt.
Can anyone tell me the way it is happening is supposed to be like this,

or is it a bug? Is there any other alternative.

I'm working under NT v4, Cygnus-win32-b19.

TIA,
Ashish
