Trying this make file on Linux and on Cygwin produced the same results.

make: *** No rule to make target `merr.icn', needed by `/bin/merr.exe'.  Stop.

This does not seem out-of-order to me given the fact that I don't have
a merr.icn file.

If you're continuing to have problems and cannot determine why, please
follow the problem reporting guidelines found at the link below with
any subsequent help request to this list.

RE: solved: make error: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.‏

[Richard H. McCullough]

 This error is caused by having
 a dos-style directory name in $PATH.
 For example
            C:/Cygwin/bin

This problem is a result of trying to solve a different problem.
Using the Unicon language
            open("/cygdrive/c/file")  fails
            open("c:/file")  succeeds

I have seen two things mess up my makefiles in the past.

1) tabs converted to spaces (and vice versa).
2) CRLF instead of LF line separators, or mixed CRLF and LF line separators.

Both of these defects are normally invisible. I have used cat -A or od
-c to help detect these editor induced errors. dos2unix can fix line
endings. An editor with visible whitespace and selectable line endings
options and regexp search and replace can help with fixing tabs.

Sounds like you changed your PATH and have a different (non-cygwin) 
version of make now.
What does `type make` say?

As long as we're thinking about it, the last release of make was five
months ago and the mailing list isn't filled with people complaining
that make is broken.

If you can identify a simple example of breakage please send it to
bug-make@gnu.org .

make error: *** target pattern contains no `%'. Stop.‏

[Richard H. McCullough]

I picked a bad example, since you don't have my source files.
The point is this: I've been using Cygwin "make" for years
and never had a problem.  In the last week, "make" suddenly
changed -- it does nothing but stop on every makefile.

You must have released a new version of "make" which
is definitely broken.

Just think about it -- why should "make" suddenly force me to add
       %: force
targets for all my existing targets?
