CYGWIN_NT-5.1 xcoisaacf20 1.5.11(0.116/4/2) 2004-09-04 23:17 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin
I tried this same experiment on a home PC, and it is not having the problem. The major difference I can see is that the home PC has XP SP2 installed, and the work machine is still on Service Pack 1 (I have no control over that). I'm trying to identify anything else different on the work machine that could cause 1.5.11 to not work. I'm not having any trouble with 1.5.10, so my group is sticking with that for now.
Thanks, IF

Sorry, missed that. Still, like CGF, I can't reproduce this:
$ echo -e 'default:\n\tperl1 foo.pl' > Makefile $ echo -e '#!/usr/bin/perl1\n\n\nprint "Success.\\n"' > foo.pl $ ln -fs /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl1 $ make perl1 foo.pl Success. $ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 pechtcha 1.5.12(0.116/4/2) 2004-09-07 15:07 i686 unknown unknown Cygwin $
There must be something peculiar to your installation. Does the exact recipe above work for you? Igor

As stated in my original post, I renamed make.exe to gmake.exe to avoid a name conflict with Opus make (also named make.exe). So, gmake.exe==Cygwin make.exe. My environment is somewhat customized because I have a lot of different build requirements depending on the project I am working on.
Renaming gmake back to make gives the same result.
#which make /usr/bin/make
#make perl foo.pl make: execvp: perl: Permission denied make: *** [default] Error 127

Yes, the perl soft link works from the command line. Here's my test case that fails.
<foo.pl> #!/usr/bin/perl
print "Success.\n" </foo.pl>

#ls -l /usr/bin/perl lrwxrwxrwx 1 isaacf Domain U 24 Sep 7 12:44 /usr/bin/perl -> /usr/bin/perl5.8.5.exe

You may also need to "rm /usr/bin/perl.exe" before you can "ln -s /usr/bin/perl5.8.5.exe /usr/bin/perl".
According to <http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=bin%2Fgmake>, there is no "gmake" in the Cygwin distribution. Is "gmake" a Windows executable, by any chance? If so, the behavior is expected -- Windows programs don't understand Cygwin symlinks.
Why not use Cygwin make? Igor
