Hi,

    I am try to write a makefile that looks like follows:

----------------------------------------------------------
HOME= D:\test

all: $(HOME)/test

$(HOME)/test:
<tab>@echo "test.."
-----------------------------------------------------------

   <tab> is where I insert a <tab>.

   Make is complaining about "*** missing separator" at Line #5.

   If I replace line# 5 with:
   D\:\test/test
   it runs fine. But it is very kludgy...

   Is there anyway I can supress ':' in the target list?

   Thank you for your time.  I would appreciate if you Cc: your response to
