We're just typing 'make', which unless something changed, should be the same as 'make --unix'. 'make -p | grep MAKE_MODE' returns 'MAKE_MODE = unix'. Hmm. I do see that /etc/profile is setting MAKE_MODE=unix so that may not be make's default. > You don't have to go into exhaustive detail about how mozilla works. > You just need a (probably) three line makefile and a copy of the make > command line and, if you are using it, description of the MAKE_MODE > environment variable setting. > > I am not trying to be difficult.

That example works fine if I do 'make --win32' but fails when just using 'make'. That is a change in behavior from the previous version of make. The testcase works with either of --unix & --win32 when using make 3.79.1-7 . Using --win32 is not an option for building Mozilla as the common set of build rules assume that a bourne shell is being used. - cls -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
