Please always specify what platform you're using GNU make on. I assume some sort of DOS or Windows platform from the filename (make.exe). In that case you should probably ask your question on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. Also, please specify whether your version of GNU make is from Cygwin, or you built it yourself. If it's from Cygwin, we don't support that version directly so if it's a non-general make problem (which this appears to be) you should ask on the Cygwin lists. If you built it yourself please note how it was built (what shell it uses, etc.) I can't say that this: am> I can reproduce the problem over here now, with your make.exe you am> sent me.

Is it true for all commands, or just when their tool is invoked (that is, if the rule is "echo 123456789012345" or similar, does it fail?) Remember please post this all to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, do not email it to me directly. I don't even own a Windows box and cannot help you. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
