Make 3.77 problem, Drive letter colon

[Lyndon Homewood]

 Version 3.77 has problems that version 3.75 does not.

Command executed:

make all  

The following makefile fails on version 3.77 but not on 3.75
----------------------------------------
all : E:\Projects\a.txt
	echo 'Done'

E:\Projects\a.txt :
	echo 'Hello' >E:\Projects\a.txt
----------------------------------------
Error reported:
makefile:4: *** target pattern contains no `%'.  Stop.
----------------------------------------
	

The following works on both versions
----------------------------------------
all : \\E\Projects\a.txt
	echo 'Done'

\\E\Projects\a.txt :
	echo 'Hello' >\\E\Projects\a.txt
----------------------------------------


I suspect a bug fix is needed to handle the windows drive letter colon.

NOTE: I also tried the following commands which still give the same
failure:

 make --unix all
 make --win32 all
