Looks like the Windows-style paths support has been accepted as an
upstream patch. When can Cygwin pick this up?
It is very much not a priority. I'll probably wait for the next release
of make. The CVS version has some reported bugs anyway.
Thanks for the update. What might make this a priority?
My situation is this: I cannot advocate an off-the-rack Cygwin
installation for my team or my customers. My current choices are:
1. supply an in-house compiled Cygwin version of make-3.81 (without
cygwin1.dll, of course) that has the patch, with installation
instructions and caveats
2. supply an old Cygwin make-3.80 (with similar instructions and
/more/ caveats)
3. tell my customers and team to "figure it out"
Is the CVS version with its bugs worse (calls for some subjectivity)
than the current Cygwin make-3.81-1? Are the bugs new since 3.81-1?
Can Cygwin take *just* the "colon in paths" patch?
I'm happy to help any way I can.
Thanks,
Rob
