If you open up a sh.exe shell, or a bash shell for that matter (IIRC), and type "copy" you will get a "command not found" error. You might be better off doing what Chris Faylor says, and using nmake. Not that he is discouraging your use of cygwin, but cygwin walks a fine line between POSIX and microsoft compatibility, when microsoft is doing their best to avoid any POSIX behavior. You can try setting MAKE_MODE=win32 in your environment, that will use the Windows command shell, which will recognize the copy command. IIRC there is no copy.exe because copy is a shell built in for windows.
