In *certain* cases -- if you're lucky -- you can use the cygwin make, but you have to turn off automatic dependency tracking in your project. For projects that use automake, you can do this using --disable-dependency-tracking. But there are significant drawbacks to doing this. And if it breaks your project, you get to keep all the pieces (e.g. doing this is not supported by us, or anyone else). -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
