Description

I tried to run rake make from the default Windows command promt (cmd.exe) but it fails during executing Rakefile and before running make. I fixed it like this: 

diff --git a/Rakefile b/Rakefile
index 3aa7095..c8f722a 100644
--- a/Rakefile
+++ b/Rakefile
@@ -134,7 +134,8 @@ desc 'Compile extension'
 task :make do
   Dir.chdir 'ruby/command-t' do
     ruby 'extconf.rb'
-    system 'make clean && make'
+    system 'make clean '
+    system 'make'
     bail_on_failure
   end
 end

IMHO it seems that the command prompt cannot join commands with &&.

    Seems like a reasonable change which at best will fix things for you on Windows, and at worst won't break it for anybody else, so I'll add it.

    Committed the change here with a small tweak (you need a call to bail_on_failure to preserve the exit-on-failure semantics of &&):

    It will be included in the next release.

    Marking this issue as closed.
