The Cygwin version of make doesn't know anything about cmd.exe. Cygwin emulates a UNIX-like system. UNIX-like systems don't have cmd.exe. If you want a version of make which knows about cmd.exe use the MinGW version. I really cannot comprehend how to make this simple fact any clearer so that is the last I'm going to say on the subject. cgf _______________________________________________ Make-w32 mailing list Make-w32@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/make-w32
