Definition of VPATH



Hi everybody

I posted this message a few days ago, but i didn't go much reply on it.

I'm very new to cygnu and have to make a UNIX gmake file to run also
on MS-NT boxes.
Now the problem which stops me in the moment is the ':' problem:

- with 'VPATH:=/home/periat/src:D:/foo/src' make can't find the
  source files if they are on drive 'D:' only.
  
- with 'VPATH:=/home/periat/src;D:/foo/src' or
       'VPATH:=/home/periat/src://D/foo/src'
  '$<' contains '//D/foo/src/foo.c' and non cygnus programs can't deal
   with such file names.
   
- with 'VPATH:=/home/periat/src:/foo/src' and  'D:/foo' binary mounted
  as '/foo'
  'make' finds files, but again non cygnus programs don't know anything
  about 'mount' and so they can't find '/fool/file'
  
   
Can anyone tell me how i can solve this problem?



Thanks
Henri



I have b18 and the 'coolview' patches.
