I think the problem is abspath, which fails on Cygwin with DOS-style file names with a drive letter. Fixing that function on Cygwin is a priority for this release, if possible. The patch you suggest, OTOH, entirely disables support for DOS-style file names in the Cygwin build, which is a much worse alternative. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
