I just created a "//c/Programme/eCos/packages/pkgconf/rules.mak" file with these two lines in it: all: echo hello and then created a makefile with this in it: include //c/Programme/eCos/packages/pkgconf/rules.mak and then did this: make Everything worked as expected. If you can isolate this down to a simple failing test case then running strace on the make session may be instructive: strace -ostrace.out make -f whatever This isn't just a case of having \r\n line endings in your makefile, is it? Btw, since Corinna uses W2K I don't think this is some kind of strange W2K bug. I'm using W2K, too, FWIW. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
