RE: Need Volunteers to test patch for gnu make


It works like a charm:

C:\usr\local\cell\samples\fw>set CELL_SDK=C:\usr\local\cell

C:\usr\local\cell\samples\fw>which make
/usr/bin/make

C:\usr\local\cell\samples\fw>make > stdout.txt
C:\usr\local\cell\host-win32\ppu\bin\ppu-lv2-ar.exe: creating libfw.a
