I just realized that I might not have explained the real problem very well.
I've seen the problem come up in the following example.

I ftp my source&makefiles from Unix to my Win PC.  The ftp program does a
converion on the text files to make them compatible with DOS (which means
changing a cr to a cr+lf).  [someone please correct me if I don't have that
right]  So then, under Cygwin, I tar.gz my whole source tree and ftp it to
another Unix box (yes, I've done this, please don't give me a hard time
about it ;).  That transfer is done in Binary mode...no conversions done.
If I try to make the program at this point, I'll get the same "missing
seperator" message (same message I get if GNU make is not in my path before
the native make).  Anyway, opening the file in vi reveals a '^M' at the end
of each line...aparently this is the extraneous LF from DOS.  So I solve the
problem by ftp'ing each text file individually in text mode if I go from
Unix to DOS.

Hope this helps,
Cal

Jean,

The only problem I could see was the dreaded '^M' at the end of your file.
Must've been opened with a DOS prog or something (I'm still not clear on all
the semantics of the nl/cr issue).  Anyway, I think I deleted it in the file
I include with this post.

Good Luck!

Cal

Subject: compilation problems


Hi !

I'm impressed by your product package (the unix-like api, gcc and gdb) which
has allowed me to write, debug and run my programs as i would do in an Unix
environment.
Besides, the api is very similar and contains nearly all the unix and shell
commands.

However i have a strange problem:
when compiling from a file that contains the different gcc lines, OK !
when using a makefile and make (UNIX mode), i have the persistent following
error message:
	missing separator

I have unix-like makefiles :
directories described using forward slashes (with or without full path
description ie /cygnus/cygwin-b20/cgi or c:/cygnus/...). I've also tried the
backslashes
variable description of the like : DIR_EXE=/cygnus/... and calling with
$(DIR_EXE)/bin
the standard gcc options (which i use in the text file i compile from)


Have you got any idea ??

(i've included a sample makefile)

 <<makefile>>
