The makefile isn't expecting to create one and, so, gets confused. Makefiles which expect .exe extensions usually use the EXEEXT variable for just this purpose. Linux's makefile doesn't do that for probably obvious reasons. -- 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
