The port of Make 3.73 didn't support long file names at all.  The

I cannot reproduce this problem: the above makefile works for me
(after I change `ypath' to `vpath') with Make 3.77.

Are you running this on Windows 9X?  If so, make sure you set LFN=y in

If setting LFN doesn't help, please post what the DOS command DIR
prints in the ..\src directory.
