I just had to deal with such a messy system and the new Cygwin make doesn't work. Even though this collection of makefiles was initially written on a POSIX system it still got into trouble with DOS paths because some of the tools it calls to generate makefiles return platform-specific paths. So this works fine on a POSIX system, worked fine on Win2000 with the old make, but now I had to understand complicated sed programs to add extra platform-specific sed transformations to convert paths returned by other cross-platform tools to something the new make accepts.
Did you think about using 'cygpath' on the result instead of adding extra platform specific transformations to your complicated sed programs? -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
