Problem with Make, Swarm on Cygwin Windows 95/NT

[Daniel Jack Livingstone]

I've only just set up swarm.
There was one problem which may be of interest, if
other people have experienced a similar prob.

Cygwin and swarm both installed OK, but Make would crash out.

the offending lines were in
packages/etc/swarm/Makefile.common

${CYGFS}H-i386-cygwin32/lib would expand to:
  C:/Cygnus/B19/H-i386-cygwin32/lib

and the linker didnt like
-LC:/Cygnus/B19/H-i386-cygwin32/lib

The simplest solution is to replace the line with the expanded
directory - without the lead 'C:'

Similarly, using folder or file names with spaces - ok in Win95 -
will cause grief.
