X-PGP-Key: (DSA), (RSA) X-Homepage: Hi! There is a compatibility problem with Cygwin-make and the makefile filename case. Cygwin-make doesn't accept "MAKEFILE" (but "makefile", "Makefile" or "GNUmakefile") which is treated the same as "makefile" by (at least some) other LFN-aware tools, i.e. Info-ZIP's unzip and DJGPP ls. So if you call a makefile "makefile" and put it into a ZIP archive, there is the possibility that it is unpacked as "MAKEFILE" and displayed as "makefile" but Cygwin make doesn't find it. It was great if you could fix that problem by making Cygwin make also look for "MAKEFILE". I'm sorry, I don't read the mailing list. So please reply to me directly. And please excuse possible mistakes. English is not my mother language. Frank -- "Wer den Swing in sich hat, kann nicht mehr im Gleichschritt marschieren."
