    TITLE  :  How To Allow MAKE To Invoke Itself Using SHARE




  This document describes a method of allowing MAKE to invoke
  itself in protected mode with DOS Share loaded.

  SHARE.EXE prevents protected mode MAKE in Borland/Turbo C++ 3.0
  from running recursively.  Is there any way around this?

  Actually, there is a very easy solution.  The problem is that the
  DPMI kernel is reopening MAKE.EXE in exclusive mode, so when MAKE
  tries to invoke itself, there is a file contention problem.  The
  solution is to mark MAKE.EXE as ReadOnly.  This way, SHARE will
  not complain about reopening the file because it knows that no
  one will write to it.

  For more information on marking a file ReadOnly see the printed
  documentation included with your version of DOS.  The DOS command
  you'll need information on is called ATTRIB.
