Re: [cdt-dev] RE: Make won't handle colons in makefile variables


Alex

Thanks a lot for your reply. Actually I tried something like that already, but it didn't solve the problem (surprisingly, because int he cygwin mailing list also mention that one). Because we have to fix this quick, right now I just moved the sources I needed to the Project so I can use relative paths (which don't have colons). Nevertheless, eventually I will have to figure out what is wrong. I will try your suggestion once again

Best regards
Tomas

Tomas,
I had the same problem with cygwin make 3.81, and the solution of downgrading it to 3.80 works for me. Here is what I did to get it work: 1. Use cygwin setup to uninstall make 3.81. 2. Download make 3.80 package
http://cygwin.paracoda.com/release/make/make-3.80-1.tar.bz2
3. Under cygwin shell, go to the root directory "/", do following
tar jxvf make-3.80-1.tar.bz2
Thanks,
