Yes, 'make' (and other developer tools) aren't part of the default cygwin installation - you need to select them explicitly. > Now it's time to discover the reason's that the makefile works with > cygwin's make and not with unixtools make. Because cygwin's make understands POSIX paths and unixtools' make doesn't? >From http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/: " Here are some ports of common GNU utilities to native Win32. In this context, native means the executables do only depend on the Microsoft C-runtime (msvcrt.dll) and not an emulation layer like that provided by Cygwin tools." No emulation -> Only DOS-style paths available there. :-) This is why cygwin is so great, of course! cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
