I've got a problem with cygwin (DLL: v1.5.11) and Gnu Make v3.80 under WinXP: When I start Make to compile a huge projekt (with recursive calls to Make), Make suddenly returns to the cygwin prompt but continues to run as background job and I still can see its output (mixed with the cygwin prompt). This alone would not bother me, but this seems to happen even to the recursively called Makes. Result: some parts get compiled before others (on which they depend). => I get an error. I looked at all Makefiles and there's nothing that could explain that behavior. On Linux everything's ok. And before you ask: I even don't send anything to background with '&'. Even a call to "make clean" shows the same behavior. Any suggestions what's wrong?
