Re: Make is looking for a disk in drive D:?

[Gary Turner]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Something between that and getting the reply made it go away, so I wasn't 
able to test it any more.
It's back again now.

No - there is nothing with a d: in the path - or any of my environment 
variables.

It faults with no makefile.
It faults with an empty makefile.
It still faults if I close the cmd window and a new one.

If I do a make -d - it pops up the message after printing "This program 
built for i686-pc-mingw32" but before "Reading makefiles..."

It doesn't fault with --help or --version

Does this help?
