What version of Make are you using? Please also provide some small self-contained example of a Makefile where VPATH doesn't work with forward slashes. It should work; there's code in Make to support both forward- and back-slashes on Windows in VPATH lists. So maybe you are using an old version, or maybe there's some other factor at work here. An example will go a long way towards discovering the reason(s). _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
