Your explanation about using sshd just hit the wrong switch in my cheese^Wbrain. > dmake: Error -- \bin\bash: No such file or directory Dmake alone is the culprit, given that. The problem here is that dmake as native process has simply no idea about Cygwin's mount table. Apparently it checks for a file \bin\bash, but where is that supposed to be when using native Win32 calls? dmake would have to know to add Cygwin's Win32 equivalent of the root dir from Cygwin's mount table so that the file becomes, say, C:\bin\bash. And even then it wouldn't find the file, except it knows that it has to add a ".exe" suffix...
