Makefile has local path #42

Closed brandmaier closed 4 years ago

brandmaier commented 4 years ago

Makefile contains: //c/Users/aaron/Documents/reproducible-research

This is contradicting our own philosophy :)

I know, that is why I hate the "Windows" Hack, it requires to change this path. BTW //c/Users/aaron/Documents/reproducible-research doesn't even exists on my computer.

So I would close this issue because it is the windows workaround?

brandmaier commented 4 years ago

On reading again, I am not sure what you meant when you wrote: "Docker on Windows requires the path to be special; therefore, you need to hand-edit the Makefile and set current_path to the current directory"

What is "special"? And what is the "current directory"? Do you mean the project directory?

aaronpeikert commented 4 years ago

The core problem is to automatically get a path formatted as C:/users/foo within make. I just cannot figure this one out. Tried for day... Maybe we ask around for help with that issue (in the mattermost-shell chat)?

Good idea. Maybe also stack exchange or similar?
