IMHO, you've missed the point of cygwin. As I understand cygwin, it's a tool for unix users that have to use windows(or programmers trying to port a unix program to win32), not a tool to introduce unix to windows users. And there is already a tool for running windows makefiles, GNU make was ported to win32 long time ago. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
