This isn't discussing the applications that are being developed or ported by or to Cygwin.

That's not helpful, because you misunderstood and your comment is incorrect and misleading. The real problem (I can tell without even looking at the site or anything else) is that you are using the cygwin compiler's "-mno-cygwin" option, which in fact turns it into a MinGW compiler, using DOS-based file paths. If you want make to understand MinGW paths generated by a MinGW compiler, you should use a MinGW make, not a Cygwin make. cheers, DaveK -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

In *certain* cases -- if you're lucky -- you can use the cygwin make, but you have to turn off automatic dependency tracking in your project. For projects that use automake, you can do this using --disable-dependency-tracking. But there are significant drawbacks to doing this.

The only problem may be to identify the category. Somebody think this is a bug (as I have done), and others say this is a feature. Perhaps it is both. Now after I have recognized the true reason for this, I'm thinking this is a feature, because this isn't a bug of make and your right. So please, would you move this thread to cygwin.
