As far as I know, yes. Despite having cygwin installed everywhere, we were using gmake 3.80 built using cl from the sources, and the native activestate perl 5.8.2. So, neither the cygwin perl nor the cygwin make was involved. Everything worked OK for us from a DOS window, it was only when a cygwin shell was involved that we got the problem. The small test case seemed to confirm that it was due to cygwin.dll. > [...] and was fixed there? I cannot verify that it was ever actually repaired in any cygwin version, since once we got that far in our diagnosis, we modified all our perl scripts to eliminate the `cmd` constructs which triggered it. The OP (Dan Gilbert) replied privately that his perl scripts don't have the backtick construct. I'm not sure whether he has any cygwin involvement at all. -- Tom Kronmiller, [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Make-w32 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/make-w32
