Hi everybody

I'm new to gnu-win32, version b18, and i have big problems with it.

1. Why does   perl -e 'print "Hello world\n";' doesn't work ?
   I't works fine on in my 'bash' on my UNIX system.
   I also know that a workaround exists with 'qq', thanks to Perl, but
   this is just a simple example. It seems that 'bash' hates '"'.
   

2. The 'make' can't handle DOS paths like 'C:/foo' in 'VPATH'
   In the FAQ i found the workaround for this problem: '//C/foo'.
   But programs i call from the Makefile can't deal with such paths.
   Who can i make things like this working:
   
   %.o: %.c
   	program $<
   	
   	
   	
Thanks
Henri
