NickName:Pipsqweek Ask DateTime:2016-12-29T13:30:03 is g++ reliant on Linux for running linux-like commands or are they built in? At the end of a makefile's execution there can be a rm -rf *.o inserted. Some of the variables such as $(something) seem very bash-like. I had intended to create a makefile that compiles also on windows, but I am wondering this: Is g++ relying on the linux environment for these commands or are they built in?
