The problem can be more subtle than this. If only *SOME* of your
directories
are mounted as binary (such as "/tmp") then CYGWIN32 can get confused
about
the desired format of a text file if a temporary file must be created.
It's safest to
either mount all directories as binary or mount none of them as binary.

I get this problem if I have inadvertently used a text editor that
replaces tab characters with spaces.
Putting the tab characters back again, solves the problem.

Hi,
My makefile has string which contain ( f.e. ) next text :
echo I do not know why it's does not work.
When I run make utility I get next error : *** missing separator. Stop.
Under Unix it works properly, why it does not work
under CygWin32. May be anybody has ever had the
same error.
I use :

Try two things:
1. Make sure you use only TAB symbols and not spaces in action lines.
2. Change your example string like that:
echo "I do not know why it's does not work."

You can get this error when your makefile gets converted to DOS text.
This seems like the likely problem, since the file works under unix.

This comes up frequently.
Either you have spaces instead of a tab before your command lines
OR
Your makefile has carriage returns at the end of some of the lines.
