I just downloaded b17.1 and I found a problem with make.
An example describing the problem is as follows:
The following is in the makefile
target_file: /users/dirx/file.vhd
create_target_file commands
I am executing make in the d:/users/dirx directory. I get the following
error message:
gmake: *** No rule to make target '/users/dirx/file.c', needed by
'target_file'. Stop
Relative paths in the dependency list seem to work fine. The following
works:
target_file: ./file.vhd
create_target_file commands
I also noticed that you cannot use drive letters when specifying full
paths. It seems that this version of make does not like the colon.
I am not yet a subscriber to the gnu-win32 mailing list. Please send any
responses to my email address. Thanks.
-Jay
