Hello

I am using cygwin and have copied the core cygwin files to a folder called
binarytools on my Windows PC.  This folder is first item in path env
variable.

When I run make it has commands to do a mkdir -p <foldername>

But mkdir -p myfolder creates a folder called -p and also a folder called
myfolder???

Why the strange behaviour?  How would I get the standard unix behaviour?

Angus
