Re: [OT] Windows cmd.exe shell

newer Windows Systems have PowerShell out-of-the-box. It's not a drop-in replacement for CMD.EXE, and I find its (as I would call it) "similarity-but-difference" to Perl somehow appalling, but should be useful for your case. According to this SO thread you would be able to write
```
cc -o interp interp.c $(perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ccopts -e ldopts)
[download]
```
Git for Windows includes a "git BASH", which is a GNU bash based on MSYS
And, lastly, this anonymous monk has a point ;-)

newer Windows Systems have PowerShell out-of-the-box Yes, I did see that it was possible to do in PowerShell. And I do have PowerShell - though I haven't tested this particular feature of it. Git for Windows includes a "git BASH", which is a GNU bash based on MSYS I'm also aware of that option. I do have MSYS2 and often use its bash shell. This is the shell I'd go to if I wanted to avoid cmd.exe However, with native windows perls, I'm usually running the cmd.exe shell - and it will probably stay that way. And, lastly, this anonymous monk has a point ;-) Indeed !! Cheers, Rob	[reply]
