An example describing the problem is as follows: The following is in the makefile target_file: /users/dirx/file.vhd create_target_file commands I am executing make in the d:/users/dirx directory. I get the following error message: gmake: *** No rule to make target '/users/dirx/file.c', needed by 'target_file'. Stop Relative paths in the dependency list seem to work fine. The following works: target_file: ./file.vhd create_target_file commands I also noticed that you cannot use drive letters when specifying full paths. It seems that this version of make does not like the colon. I am not yet a subscriber to the gnu-win32 mailing list. Please send any responses to my email address. Thanks. -Jay -- Jay Brown FORE Systems jbrown AT fore DOT com 508-264-3018 - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
