'make' stumbles over file names with a drive spec: regex.o regex.o: \ [...] c:/sds/dev/current/build-mingw-1/gllib/stdint.h \ It seems you are mixing w32 path-aware tools (GCC) with tools not w32 path-aware (make). Typically, the solution is to use matching sets of programs, either by using mingw32-make, or using MinGW/MSYS without Cygwin tools, or using Cygwin fully. My MSYS make has no problem with these file names. If you had given a reference to the discussion where this occurred initially (I know that I've skimmed it before, but as I'm still catching up with mail backlog I am not eager to search for it), I might've even been able to say what exactly your issue is, and whether it is an Automake one. ;-) Cheers, Ralf
