I have a cygwin environment in which I've written a makefile, in this environment it's working fine I want to make it available to other dos user, so I've written a bat file that set the cygwin path and call make, in the doc env when I do echo %somevar% I see the correct result however in commands launched by make (shell scripts) the ${somevar} expand to nothing... as if make was stripping the env.... any idea? thanks JLM -- KISS!
