Using cygwin "make"

Wed Jan 17 05:42:00 GMT 2001

John,
you should use cygwin path syntax rather than windows syntax, i.e.
/cygwin/d/classes instead of D:\classes (see cygwin documentation/FAQ)
You can use windows pathes, but you have to remember to quote the
backslashes: replace the single backslashes with double backslashes.
This is a shell issue. Try 'man bash', see chapter 'Quoting'.

>> You can put the commands on a single line, seperated by a semicolon:
>> 	cd $(CLASSES); jar -cvf $(DISTRIBUTION_DIR)\lib\classes.jar squ/
>> Or you can use line continuation:
>> 	cd $(CLASSES); \
