Unfortunately the version of GNU make shipped with Cygwin is not the same as the one distributed by the FSF; there have been changes made to that version which we don't know about here. It's best to ask about the Cygwin version of make on the Cygwin mailing lists. However: pc> This is my "Makefile" pc> local: pc> @$(MAKE) -f makelocal create_dependancy pc> test: pc> @$(MAKE) -f all Here you are running "make -f all"; that means make will try to read the file "all" as a makefile. That appears to be where you're error is coming from, because you don't have a file "all" that make can read as a makefile. See the GNU make manual for a discussion of the various options to GNU make, what they mean, and what their proper format is.
