So, 1) You're using a version of make that wasn't distributed with Cygwin (there is no "gmake" in the distribution). and 2) You're using an old version of Cygwin. Given that, I'd say the odds are slim to none that you'll be able to find a fix for this problem. Time to upgrade. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
