I'm not quite clear on what make I should be using. It will be directing the compilation of non-Cygwin related c++ files. The compiler will be VC. Everyone here can be expected to have Cygwin. I'm using gnu make merely because it's a good tool. The actual compiling has nothing at all to do with Cygwin or gcc. Cygwin is just a provider of things like bash, sh and awk, as far as our development process is concerned. Knowing this, which make should I use, Mozila's gmake, the Mingw32-built make you sent me, or the VC-built make you sent me? or something else?
