Hi all; Please don't dispair if I'm not as communicative as I usually am. For those not aware, in the "real world" I've decided to leave my previous position (of 13+ years!) and take on a new challenge. As a result, there is some turbulence in my life at the moment and one consequence of this is I've not gotten my email situation ironed out completely to my satisfaction... this means I'm not reading email as consistently as I'd like.
I will sort it out! In the meantime, I do think that the idea you are discussing is a good one, provided Chris and the other Cygwin folks agree. Please continue to work with Eli (et.al.) to polish up the patch. I will be providing input as I have it. One thing: my original idea was to have a configure option that enabled the DOS path capabilities. I note some here are advocating a configure test which simply sets the HAVE_DOS_PATHS option if Cygwin is detected, rather than leaving it up to the user. Is it the case that people might want to build a Cygwin version of make _WITHOUT_ DOS path support? Something to think about anyway. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
