Follow-up Comment #2, bug #15947 (project make): On Cygwin 1.5.17-1, I can't reproduce your `escape' failure against GNU make 3.81rc1.
> make: stat: p:foo: No medium found I was really amazed when I saw this.

Well, I could be wrong. :=) > Here is the relevant section of my revised > tests/features/escape, complete file also attached I'm worried when I see the test suit getting messier and messier. Can't we devise a more elegant and more portable testing framework for our GNU make? :( Agent _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15947> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
