I am getting an error "*** missing separator" compliling using a home-baked makefile. The following is the segment of the Makfile that is causing the problem. The error refers to the line starting with $(LIB) ---------------------------------------------------- $(LIB): $(LIB)($(OBJS)) $(OBJS) $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $(LDLIBS) $^ ---------------------------------------------------- The segment above is part of a top-level makefile that defines a set of standard make targets. The problem only arises when $(LIB) is not defined in the makefile that includes the top level one. This exact makefile setup works fine on Linux, BSD and Solaris. Just not Cygwin. I have checked the usual suspects... (ie There is a tab before the $(CC) line and there are no CR/LF issues.
