This is a strange problem.
I'm running windows XP with Gnu make 3.8.1
C:\tmp$ make --version
GNU Make 3.81

C:\tmp$
If my Makefile contains quoted values it ends with an error message,
if I remove the quotes the Makefile builds correctly. The following
examples illustrate the problem. Note that 'main.cc' is an error-free
C++ source file in 'c:\tmp'.
Example #1: ---------------------------------
C:\tmp$ cat Makefile
test: main.cc
g++ -o sample main.cc -I"c:\tmp"
C:\tmp$ make
g++ -o sample main.cc -I"c:\tmp"
g++: main.cc: No such file or directory
g++: no input files
make: *** [test] Error 1
C:\tmp$ dir main.cc
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 60E9-C4AA
Directory of C:\tmp
06/17/2007 09:44 AM 134 main.cc
1 File(s) 134 bytes
0 Dir(s) 38,320,910,336 bytes free
C:\tmp$
Example #2: ---------------------------------
C:\tmp$ cat Makefile
test: main.cc
g++ -o sample main.cc -Ic:\bin
C:\tmp$ make
g++ -o sample main.cc -Ic:\tmp
C:\tmp$
The only difference in the two Makefiles is the quoted reference
to 'c:\tmp'.
>From the command line I can call g++ both with 'c:\tmp' quoted and
without it quoted and the file is compiled correctly both times.
This clearly shows me it's a problem with 'make'. But why?
Can anyone suggest reasons why make is failing?
