[Buildbot-devel] Alternative shell on Windows slaves

[Gianluca Sforna]

I am trying to deploy a buildbot slave in Windows, and I am facing this problem:
our build system (using the MinGW toolchain) is currently based upon some shell
scripts which are run from a Makefile.
This is working flawlessly in a msys shell, but fails when tried in a buildslave
because the shell invoked is cmd.exe; do you think is there a (easy?) way to
change the shell for running commands on the slaves?

Thanks in advance
