RE: Make fails to execute shell commands using sh under Win32

[Fairweather, James]

You know, I don't know.  I spent a frustrating few hours with the same problem 
as you described, and eventually stumbled on the --unix option.  I got it by 
typing "make -?" on the command line.  I guess it's a cygwin thing.  Anyway, I 
usually go with "whatever works".

Thanks--it works now.

By the way--is there any info about --unix anywhere in the info document?  
I couldn't find it at first glance.
