The Windows version of Sun's javac does support paths that begin with a forward slash. Although, it will only interpret the path relative to the current drive letter. > That is the crux of Jin's complaint. It certainly will not use Cygwin's mount table -- maybe this is the crux of Jin's problem. > Yes, but have you run the Cygnus version of GNU make on Windows/NT?

I've generally had the most success running the Cygnus > version when I run it in UNIX mode. I have from b17 to b20.1 (and soon on 1.1.2), but only in UNIX mode. Due to desiring tolerance of \r\n in makefiles, I decided to upgrade from Cygwin make 3.77 to GNU make 3.79. It built OOTB without any fuss. And since I'm only interested in UNIX mode, I didn't notice any issues (ie, lack of the Windows mode). Since Chris was nice enough to release Cygwin make 3.79, I will be switching back to the make included with the Net distribution as soon as it is convenient.
