After upgrading cygwin dll to 1.3.16 from 1.3.12 I had the following problem: I'm using cygwin to build my project, in my makefile I'm creating another makefile like this: VAR1=a.o : a.c\n\tcc $$@ . . . sometarget : $(shell echo -e '$(VAR1)' >> somefile
before the upgrade this produced somefile with this lines in it: a.o : a.c <TAB> cc $@ after upgrading the tab before the 'cc $@' gone, and the lines in somefile looks like this: a.o : a.c cc $@ and the make of the sub-makefile (somefile) fails, I've noticed that if I'm adding a character before the \t for example: VAR1=a.o : a.c\nxxx\tcc $$@ it produces: a.o : a.c xxx cc $@ any ides ?
