Ah! Cygwin. Please be aware that Cygwin publishes a modified version of GNU make; they take the FSF version and apply Cygwin specific patches. I'm not familiar with all the things those patches do. If your version of GNU make is really the Cygwin-provided version I suggest you contact folks on the Cygwin mailing lists to ask about the problems you're seeing. For example, I'm pretty sure that the Cygwin GNU make does NOT want to work with COMMAND.COM or CMD.EXE. It wants to work with the Cygwin port of the UNIX shell (sh). If you don't want to work in a Cygwin environment then you might want to go get the vanilla version of GNU make from the FSF site and use that instead. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
