VC++ is dumb and treat the path as an option.
You should use the "make" command in Cygwin instead.
The interface between the GNU make program and the shell is
very intricate. The rules about quoting and backslashes are
hard to understand. So we only support these two combinations
of GNU make and shell on Windows:
1. Cygwin's GNU make and bash
2. Regular GNU make (i.e., if you download the GNU make source
code and build it yourself. I seem to remember moztools also
has a gmake.exe program) and MKS Korn Shell (a commercial
product).
Perhaps someone should work harder to allow the combination of
regular GNU make and Cygwin bash. (I have a headache whenever
I need to understand the rules about quoting and backslashes.)
In any case, I suggest the following:
1. do "which make" to make sure "make" is Cygwin's GNU make
(something like /usr/bin/make).
2. Say "make" instead of "gmake".
