thank you for the quick replies. unfortunately, i'm not having any luck.

	1st Chris Faylor: Update your make.exe

the version that was downloaded by the setup appears to be the most recent
release? that is, if i go to the mirror i was using
ftp://ftp.freesoftware.com/pub/sourceware/cygwin/latest/make/ and try to
get whatever the newest make is, it is the same file that the setup
program already downloaded and installed. the source tar is the same
version, so building that wouldn't help it seems? or is there some CVS
tree i'm supposed to go get the super latest secret beta unstable stuff
from? :-)

	2nd Chuck Wilson: set MAKE_MODE=unix

so i thought of that before (just because i was getting missing seperator
errors before i reduced it down to make itself being freaky) and tried
checking the mode with "echo $MAKE_MODE" which reported "unix". anyway, i
tried setting it for the heck of it, and the "-c" error went away.

however, the plot thicks. i'm trying to build some perl modules (as
click and clack would say, dismissively, "well, there's your problem!").
make works *before* i try making them, but not after. i.e.: i did the
"perl Makefile.PL" which generated "Makefile" and then i just did make and
it didn't work from then on?! here's a transcript:

[brand new shell started up]
bash-2.04$ make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[okay, it doesn't give me the -c error]

bash-2.04$ cd perl
bash-2.04$ cd store
bash-2.04$ cd IO-stringy-1.212/
bash-2.04$ ls
MANIFEST     Makefile.PL  docs         t
Makefile     Makefile~    lib          testout
[here's the module i'm trying to make]

bash-2.04$ make
'-c' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
make: *** [blib\lib\.exists] Error 1
[damn and blast]

bash-2.04$ echo $MAKE_MODE
unix
[so much for that idea?]

bash-2.04$ set MAKE_MODE = unix
[try it anyway]

bash-2.04$ make -f Makefile
[anal]

'-c' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
make: *** [blib\lib\.exists] Error 1
[no such luck]

hi,
-Jon.
