RE: How to pass a group of COMPILER OPTIONS using GNU Make Command Line under WINDOWS

[Partha None]

Paul,
 
Sorry for the personal e-mail.
 
Usually I press the REPLY Button and now I see that instead of address@hidden, it comes up with the personal e-mail address.
 
Next time I will make sure that I check before pressing the send button.
 
Thank you for the explanation of MAKEFLAGS usage.
 
Regards
Partha
