Dear Sirs,
Using the following version of 'make':
GNU Make 3.81
Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This program built for i386-pc-mingw32
I've found the following undocumented peculiarity of handling
Windows-type directory tree names.
In spite of that the upper directory in Windows contains files of the
kind ..\*.x, the construction of the type:
$(wildcard ..\*.x)
returns an empty list as well as
a : ..\*.x
does not find any prerequisite, though
a : ..\b
does work, and everything works when
'\' is replaced by '/'.
Maybe it will be interesting for you in order to make the behaviour
uniform both in Unix and Windows versions.
Sincerely,
A. Trushkin
