gnu make and --win32


Hi all,

I am trying to use cygwin gnu make for some win32 development. I have ran against a problem with the setting of the PATH prior to invoking an external command from within a Makefile action. It appears that even with the --win32 the following 

PATH=... some extra path ... ; ... system env path ... & set PATH

causes the environment PATH to contain things like : /c/Program Files/Cadence Design Systems/LDV/tools/bin, i.e it turns the existing 

c:\Program Files\Cadence Design Systems\LDV\tools\bin into a cygwin equivalent.

Subsequently the subshell command cannot find the external program that I am trying to invoke because the path is malformed. Oh, and I am trying to run all this from a normal 'DOS' shell on windows 2000 Pro.

I thought that the --win32 uses a win32 subshell and that therefore no alteration (cygwin-izing) of the path would be done ... Can anyone explain this to me ?

Kind regards
