You are kidding, right ? I do not have enough Windows knowledge to do either of your requests. All I can do is to try to modify my makefile without really knowing what causes the problem. As to the 2/ my suspicion is that the error is there, just corrupts unimportant area on NT. 'Reliable' ??? On Windows even errors are not reliable :-) It is just that if I type 'make rebuild-all' it will eventually crash, but never in the same place. > > cgf > > -- > Want to unsubscribe from this list? > Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com -- Tadeusz :: The public opinion should be alarmed by its own nonexistence :: (512)467-0618 ext. 526 :: Stanislaw J.
