The syntax/line: +++ $(error This project does not build in Cygwin) +++ is exactly what I was looking for as I didn't know how to force an exit. I just tried it out and it works like a champ. I also looked it up in GNU make man pages and it is there ... I don't know how I missed it last night as I "thought" I checked for error. My oversight on missing it, it was probably too late in the evening.
