Sorry, I'm not following. Could you please explain how older m4 files in config/ could cause the problem? My patch included a change in config/dospaths.m4, but that change just defined HAVE_DOS_PATHS for Cygwin and MSYS, it had nothing to do with PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR. Obviously, the HAVE_DOS_PATHS part did work, since the patched Make does support drive letters in the Cygwin build. What am I missing? _______________________________________________ Make-w32 mailing list Make-w32@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/make-w32
