  Yes, 'make' (and other developer tools) aren't part of the default cygwin
installation - you need to select them explicitly.

  Because cygwin's make understands POSIX paths and unixtools' make doesn't?

From http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/:

"  Here are some ports of common GNU utilities to native Win32. In this
context, native means the executables do only depend on the Microsoft
C-runtime (msvcrt.dll) and not an emulation layer like that provided by Cygwin
tools."

  No emulation -> Only DOS-style paths available there.

  :-)  This is why cygwin is so great, of course!


    cheers,
