Hi, I installed cygwin a couple of days back on my machine( NT 4). Just yesterday i noticed my build( my java application compilation using "make") did not work anymore and the makefile gave some weird error. A simple mkdir was'nt working and things like that. I realised it was cygwin and removed its bin from the PATH. Well that worked but there is still a problem. The makefile when it executes, treats '\' as an escape character!! so somthing like xcopy .\*.xml \temp is not working. It seyz cant find file .*.xml How do I set this right ? Please reply as soon as possible ! Thankyou Abhishek Gupta -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Check out: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
