Hi folks,

I am seeing strange behaviour when using dos paths in a gnu make vpath 
directive.
The makefile I am using to test this funny is as follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
vpath %.out c:/make_test/out
#vpath %.out /cygdrive/c/make_test/out

#VPATH = c:/make_test/out
#VPATH = /cygdrive/c/make_test/out

test.out : \
   test.input\
   ; echo test.input > out/test.out
-------------------------------------------------------------------
  
What I find is that vpath doesn't work when given a dos path.
VPATH on the other hand does.

For out application we need to use a dos path.
The work around is for us to use VPATH but it seems a bit funny that 
vpath and VPATH behave differently under given dos paths.

Has anyone any ideas about this ?

Cheers

Colm A

P.S. I am using gnu make 3.79.1-4 and 1.3.5-2 of the cygwin dll.
