[Fwd: Implicit make woes] Solved


I solved my own problem by reading the gcc man pages at
http://www.tec.ualberta.ca/Documentation/Info/by-chapter/gcc-2.8.0/gcc/gcc_toc.html

This actually refers to the "RE: Where to install cygwin..." posted at
http://www.egroups.com/list/gnu-win32/md1238679643.html

I think the FAQ should include the advice in the egroups cited mail message
_plus_
a note that the envir variables includes should be set to follow this:

export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/include
export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

If the directories are mounted to those locations
