OK, so to summarize. - there is no options or special syntax that will allow the make 3.81 to recognize drive letters in such a way that native windows tools can use them. /c/ and /cygdrive/c/ will only work with applications built against the cygwin libraries. MS cl can no longer be used with cygwin make as of 3.81. - cygwin will no longer maintain the patch to make that allowed it to recognize driver letters in paths.
- A second make-winpath as part of the cygwin package is not an option that would be accepted into cygwin. - The option for folks that want the old behavior is to have the change integrated into the upstream sources of gmake. Perhaps something along the lines of /c/ that would be translated by gmake itself into c:, so that no special parsing would be required for the makefiles. - The other option is to use mingw-make, and only use cygwin make for cygwin linked programs only. Sounds like it is time to join the gmake mailing list. Has anyone on this list tried that yet? -Bill -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
