Issue getting started with amiga-debug Visual Studio Code Extension (Windows)

[dalton]

Hello,

Bartman's vscode extension for amiga development seems really cool but I'm having some trouble getting started with it. After I initialize the sample project and try to build (with F5) I get the following errors. Maybe someone has had this problem before?

The terminal process "C:\WINDOWS\System32\cmd.exe /d /c c:\Users\david\.vscode\extensions\bartmanabyss.amiga-debug-1.4.0\bin\gnumake.exe -j4" terminated with exit code: 2.

First of all I think the really weird non-readable text is actually two errors being printed at the same time and the letters get mixed up with each other.

The `unexpected EOF` error seems to come from the Makefile line

@if not exist "$(call forward-to-backward,$(dir $@))" mkdir $(call forward-to-backward,$(dir $@))

I think the makefile commands are somehow being executed by sh, when they should really be executed with windows' cmd.

Does anybody have a clue?

Windows 11, vscode 1.68.1

Solved by adding

SHELL = c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe

to the top of Makefile.

Make was using Git's `sh` to run commands but the commands are designed for windows `cmd.exe`.

Thanks for reporting. Fixed in 1.4.1!
