So, 1) You're using a version of make that wasn't distributed with Cygwin (there is no "gmake" in the distribution). and 2) You're using an old version of Cygwin.

Time to upgrade. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
