Problems Building RTEMS on CYGWIN

[mfarnan at bigpond.net.au (Mark Farnan)]

I have traced the problem to MAKE.  For some reason the section of the
Makefile that installs the build-tools, won't do it.  It is telling me there
is no rule to build them, when it seems the rule is there in the file.

If I do the 'install'  for install-if-change and the other tools manually,
the rest of the compilation works fine.

Any more Ideas ??

(I have confirmed that SH is actually BASH)



PS: to Gerald,

Thank you for this singularly useless input
I need to use Windows NT, and it is my development platform of choice, I
also use Linux etc for other stuff.
I though I could expect better than petty 'mines better than yours' opinions
here, and just get help with problems.
