Make uses the exit code of the programs it runs to decide whether the command succeeded or not. Standard behavior is that a successful completion exits with a 0 exit code, and any other exit code is an error. Your program above is exiting with a -1, so make thinks it failed. pb> 2/ When using a pathname or a filename exeeding 8.3 notation pb> causes an error like file not found To me this sounds like you are using the DOS version of GNU make. Please try running a version of make built specifically for Windows (the W32 platform). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
