I have been using   gnu make 3.79 on win32. The shell i use is cmd.exe.

I have recently upgraded my cygwin tools including make to 3.79.1-5 (and
subsequently to -7).

I seems that make no longer recognizes Dos style pathnames. So in a rule, if
i have 


target:
	d:\utils\print.exe hello.txt

if i do

 make target --win32


make does not recognize the d:\utils\print.exe path.

This used to work fine for me before.

Does anybody know anything about this?

thanks

Try using forward slahes like d:/utils/print.exe. I don't think the
CygWin version of make has ever been equipped to handle unescaped
backslahes. You may also try escaping them, like d:\\utils\\print.exe.
