Hello Michael, > The PASTHRU value shouldn't need to be quoted unless there's some really > funky values in those macros above. echo LIB="C:\VS.NET\FrameworkSDK\Lib\" LIBPERL_A="libperl" LINKTYPE="dynamic" PREFIX="" OPTIMIZE="-O2" PASTHRU_DEFINE="" PASTHRU_INC="" Oops, sorry, I found the problem, there was this Windows LIB environment setting used. Usually I overwrite it when I fire up a Cygwin shell, but here is another box with a fresh Cygwin installation and I'm still configuring...though I have this in my .bashrc: 'export LIB=', it seems `make` still sees the wrong LIB setting.
