The reason could be that there are different conventions for where files are stored in Unix and in MS Windows. Another possible reason is that the syntax of the command interpreters in Unix and in MS Windows is rather different. It should be possible to solve these problems, and merge make files for different operating systems, using conditional statements in the make files. Greetings, Jacob -- "Hungh. You see! More bear.
