Hi

I should be about the only one who doesn't get that patch to work. Or 
maybe I'm doing something terribly wrong... or assuming something wrong...
I'm using make from Eclipse, using the CDT plug-in and the "Make 
Targets" view. For those not familiar with Eclipse and CDT, this view 
just allows you to specify a command that will make some target, 
redirecting the output to the Eclipse console. Default is Make, but you 
can specify any command and any target. Cygwin/bin is in my path, so if 
I want to use any other command I can just put it there (for example, 
several version of Make, as in this case)

Using the latest version of cygwin, I was getting the "Makefile.eos:311: 
*** target pattern contains no `%'.  Stop." error. Digging around I 
found the thread about the problem and patched the sources. In order to 
compile it I used a cygwin shell, and then "autoheader" (not sure what 
it is, so I also tried without that with no change) "./configure" (and 
also "make configure" with another version I had) and finally "make". I 
copied the new "make.exe" to C:/cygwin/bin and tried from Eclipse again. 
Exactly the same error. After this I have tried with the precompiled 
image from "http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-09/msg00153.html" and 
with binaries and sources of the 3.80 with the same result. The only 
time I got something different is when I tried the first version of the 
patch at "http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.make.windows/2136" and 
what I got was a STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW exception.

As already discussed many times elsewhere, I get this error because my 
makefile has an environment variable with a colon. An example of this in 
my makefile is:

final.o: ${EOS_V}/eos/Drivers/final.c
    $(CC) $(DEFS) $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) 
$(CPPFLAGS) $(AM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS) -c -o final.o `test -f 
${EOS_V}/eos/Drivers/final.c' || echo 
'$(srcdir)/'`"${EOS_V}/eos/Drivers/final.c

Where "EOS_V" contains something like "C:/pathToDirectory". By the way, 
this variable is passed to make from Eclipse. I don't think this should 
make a difference.

Any Ideas?. I have had this problem for weeks and I can not find any way 
to solve it...
Thank you in advance

Tomas
