Re: Re: make error 255 under cygwinHi Alex, Again, please post in text format and not html. If you don't know why or don't know how, then you should get several million hits on google to get you started.
If "make -n" is printing "CC -mmcu=..." , then it looks like a typo in the makefile. It is extremely common in makefiles to have a macro near the start such as "CC = /path/to/c-compiler", and in the rules you use the macro as "$(CC)". My guess is that your makefile is missing the $() part, so that it is trying to run a program called "CC" rather than using the macro. If that's not the case, then paste (don't attach) the makefile into the reply so we can look at it. mvh.

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
