Re: make error 255 under cygwin(Please post in text, not html) Of course you don't get an error message when running "make -n" - it only prints the command, and does not try to run it. Tell us what the first command printed by "make -n" is, and what results you get when you type that command in manually. That should bring us to the root of the problem.
mvh., David Thank you, David. When I run make with -n option I do not have that error message, everything is OK. When I remove -n the same error 255 message appears again. Regards Alex From: David Brown <da...@we...> Re: make error 255 under cygwin 2003-09-30 23:36 make error 255 under cygwinThis is not a "make" error - all make errors are listed in the make documentation. It is an error in the called program, which causes make to stop. If you use "make -n", make will print out the commands it would normally run. You can then try these manually, and hopefully get more informative error messages or some better idea of the problem. mvh.

As far as I understand, the problem caused by too long list argument. As a cure the following was recommended by Christopher Faylor in message http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg01607.html > In any event, this might help: > mount -f -X c:/cygwin/bin /bin > mount -f -x c:/cygwin/bin/strace.exe /bin/strace.exe > mount -f -x c:/cygwin/bin/cygcheck.exe /bin/cygcheck.exe > since telling cygwin that the files are all cygwin-aware should make cygwin > bypass the standard windows command line stuff What shall I do for MSPgcc? I do not quite understand how to implement the recommendation above. Regards Alex
