001-First-name = Stephen

002-Last-name = Cooper

004-Organization = Genomica

005-Confidential = No

007-Synopsis = Make won't include files

009-Severity = serious

010-Priority = high

011-Release = Cygwin 1.0

013-Description = We have a number of makefiles that all 
include $(PROJ_HOME)/Makefile.common
In Cygwin B20, this worked with no problem.
Now in Cygwin 1.1.0, the makefile complains
that it can't find the file.  Here's the output:

bash-2.04$ make --unix fast
: No such file or directoryJ-v0.1/Makefile.common

Note that the error message has truncated /d/Projects/DM which
should appear right before the J in the above error message.  
$(PROJ_HOME) is set to /d/Projects/DMj-v0.1 


014-How-To-Repeat = Create a makefile like this:
include $(PROJ_HOME)/Makefile.common
foo:
    $echo this won't work

Create a Makefile.common with:
SOURCE=$(shell find -name '*.java')

export PROJ_HOME to the directory where 
the Makefile.common file is located.
try to make foo.


015-Fix = None in this release.

I doubt it. Looks more like the terminal has obeyed the carriage
return character which forms the last character of the name of the
file which make was unable to find. It thinks there is a carriage
return as the last character of the filename because there's one on
the end of the include statement in the makefile. It sees one on the
end of the include statement because of changes and problems with
text/binary mode in the latest release, which are being reported here
several times a day at the moment by people who choose not to check
the mailing list archives before posting. The issue is discussed at
length in the archives.
