I find it interesting that you are have a problem with the '"' in make. In the original mingw32 it was a known problem; had to do with the way that win32 was handling a quoted string. To fix the problem I had to escape the '"' with the '\' character and depending on the shell nesting level sometimes the escape would have to be escaped. I haven't given Mumit Kahn's EGCS version a try yet but I know he worked on changes specific to Win32. I suggest: 1st try Mumit's version. 2nd try compiling the source under cygwin. >This problem seems to be known and Rob Tulloh >recommended me to load the latest patches (a, b, c and d).
