I experienced the following error while running "make install" for cygwin emacs:chown: invalid user: `Matthew' I corrected the problem by encapsulating the following variables in quotes within Makefile and Makefile.in: $${USERNAME} $${USER} $${installuser}
This is not Cygwin specific. It would apply to any system that allows user names to contain spaces. (But I don't know offhand if there are any systems other than Windows and Cygwin that allow this.) You should send this report to emacs-devel or, better, report it as an emacs bug (send mail to bug-gnu-em...@gnu.org).
