Hello! > Are you saying that if a Cygwin Make uses DOS style file names with > drive letters, it also expects the PATH-style directory lists to use a > semi-colon as a separator? I don't think I'd expect that.
There is a default in make.h: --- cut --- /* Handle other OSs. */ #ifndef PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR # if defined(HAVE_DOS_PATHS) # define PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR ';' # elif defined(VMS) # define PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR ',' # else # define PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR ':' # endif #endif --- cut --- But, i have just checked, it gets overridden by configure script. So if you configure on Cygwin, it will be correct. But, well, i was talking about this default actually. 2 Cristopher: but it never allows both, this is simply impossible by design. > I think > PATH-style lists should always use Unix-style file named in the Cygwin > Make.

Cygwin runs unmodified UNIX scripts and makefiles, and they would screw up badly if ';' is used. > I know about MSYS, but building an MSYS version of Make is already a > special procedure. So I don't see why you should worry about that. I do not worry much, but i think a little about how this is done, because i suggest that my modification should not make this special procedure even more complicated. Don't you think so ? P.S. During testing Windows version of make i have found a little flaw in make test suite. In test_driver.pl there is a 'toplevel' function, which sets up environment for running make. And it has a list of env variables which are propagated. Can you add Windows-specific TEMP and TMP to it ? Without this Windows version fails back to '/' as temp directory, which fails miserably on post-XP because accessing C:\ requires elevated privilege. Sorry for not providing a .diff, but this is one-line fix, and approving it is IMHO too much overhead.
