Hi,
I am a very happy user of the gnu tools. I encountered a problem I hope
you have a solution for.
I have software that is built on Unix machines and on PCs and use cygwin to
emulate the Unix environment. I use native compilers, and for the PC this
is the CL compiler from Microsoft's visual C++ 6.0
I mostly use relative pathnames but sometimes absolue pathnames are required.
I use VPATH for this, but my absolute pathname on the pc (c:/myfiles) contains the
VPATH separator ':' . The make locates the file foo.c in the directory "/myfiles" and
passes "/myfiles/foo.c" to the CL compiler, which in its turn thinks this an option
since
it starts with a '/' (microsoft).
Is there a way to tell make to see the ':' not as a VPATH separator for the PC?
Is there another way to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Rogier Wester,
