GNU make does not support pathnames with colons in them (like "C:")
normally.  Also, it doesn't deal well with backslashes: you should use
forward slashes.

Some versions of GNU make built for Windows do understand drive letters,
as a special case.


You should ask your question again on the address@hidden mailing list
which is specifically geared towards DOS/Windows users of GNU make.  Be
sure to provide details such as which version of GNU make you're using,
what OS you're using, and how GNU make was compiled (there are a few
different ways it can be built on Windows).
