Hi Make At work on a windows machine I have two versions of make. One from the ezwinports and one installed via the msys2 pacman package manager. Using text including non-ascii works fine with the latter but not the former. Below an attempt to describe what happens:

I wonder if someone on this list know how to get the ezwinports make to interpret the Makefile text as utf-8. If that is the problem, else otherwise guide me how to get it to work with that port.
