Apologies if this sends more than once but I dont think it did the first time.
I have created a .mak file type in windows and made the following its default action C:\Cygwin\bin\bash.exe --login -cvx +e "TEMP=$(mktemp); $(make -f $0 &> $TEMP) || less $TEMP; rm $TEMP" %1 the intention being to be able to make a makefile by double clicking its icon and capture the output if there are any errors. This worked fine whatever way I have cygwin setup on my windows 98 machine but on 2000 I have a problem. I have a Makefile.mak which contains the rule Lexer.c: Lexer.l (using the implict rule for lexing). When I try making it (by double clicking) it complains that make cannot find a rule to make Lexer.l needed by Lexer.c. Lexer.l is of course in the working directory but it doesnt seem to find it. Ive added .: to the PATH all over the place! /home/alan/.bash_profile (which now just looks like export PATH=$PATH:. ), /etc/profile, and /etc/profile.default all have it. I could continue adding this randomly but thought it wiser to just ask. How do I do what I want? Perhaps theres something I could add to the action above that makes it look in . for files.
