makedepend does not honor UNC path for -I and -Y
cygwin makedepend collapses the double-slash UNC path prefix to one single slash. It fails to find headers via such search paths.

Cygwin 3.2.0-1 on windows server 2012 R2 makedepend 1.0.6 Thanks for reporting this. I suspect that this is an upstream bug in makedepend, in that it does some canonicalization on paths, and assumes that '//' is the same as '/' everywhere in a path, which isn't true for an initial '//' (but happens to work on Linux, etc.) See SUSv4 Base specifications, section 4.13 "Pathname Resolution" ([1], registration required): "If a pathname begins with two successive characters, the first component following the leading characters may be interpreted in an implementation-defined manner, although more than two leading characters shall be treated as a single character." Unfortunately, you're probably going to have to fix this yourself, if it's causing you problems. Fortunately, makedepend is relatively small (See [2]).

RE: makedepend does not honor UNC path for -I and -Y
Thanks, Jon. I solved this by 'relativizing' paths before passing to makedepend using realpath --relative-to (from coreutils). Since makedepend is not heavily used anymore now gcc has the -MMD option, I wonder if the maintainers are taking any pull requests... If they don't and I create a patch, will cygwin add it in their build process of tools? -Original Message- From: Jon Turney Sent: Sunday, 6 February 2022 5:48 PM To: Ronald Hoogenboom ; The Cygwin Mailing List Subject: Re: makedepend does not honor UNC path for -I and -Y On 02/02/2022 17:02, Ronald Hoogenboom wrote: > cygwin makedepend collapses the double-slash UNC path prefix to one single > slash.
