I'm trying to automate builds of Visual Studio 6 projects (written in C). I can build the project (.dsp) with the following command from the windows console:

msdev reg.dsp /make "reg - Win32 Release"

But I cannot do this from the GIT bash. What it does is just open the project in visual studio, and report a following error:

C:/Program Files/Git/make
File not found.
Please verify that the path and the file name are correct.

sh --version says the following:

GNU bash, version 3.1.0(1)-release (i686-pc-msys)
Copyright (C) 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

So, how can I build a Visual Studio 6 C project in GIT Bash console?

I guess something weird happens when I send / (slash) parameters in git bash on windows. I replaced those with a - (dash/minus), so the build command looked like the following, and it finally worked:

msdev reg.dsp -make "reg - Win32 Release"

And within a shell script it look like this (in case someone finds this to be useful):

command="msdev ../reg.dsp -MAKE \"reg - Win32 Release\""
eval $command
