I'm not sure since I don't have/use Windows systems. My understanding is that in some, but not all, places Windows makes a distinction between pathnames that contain trailing slashes and those which don't. There is a patch applied to the CVS version of GNU make, for example, that strips trailing slashes off of -C arguments because things don't work properly on Windows if this is not done. If you want more details you might have more luck asking on the [email protected] mailing list; folks who use GNU make on Windows tend to hang out there. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
