Re: default Makefile path


mostlyharmless wrote:
When using make under cygwin (which I am using for the first time) I have to
use the -f Makefile option otherwise it says:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
do I have to set some environment variable so that I can just type 'make'?

If I have a file called Makefile in the cwd and do
$ make
make finds it just fine...and you don't have to do any special configuration for it to work either. You need to read the problem report guidelines on cygwin.com and rewrite your question according to what it says. Simply not enough information to help you as it is now.
