Re: make problem -- does not terminate on error

Have you tried running the command that fails (in the same way that "make" runs it under the circumstances in question) in a shell and seeing what error status it reports back? Is it indeed reporting a non-zero exit status (in addition to printing an error diagnostic)?
Good idea. I did:

$ c:/Progra~1/AQ430/aq430.exe +s -D__AQCOMPILER__ -DOSMAKE_LIBRARY -DOSLIBRARY_TYPE=OSF -DOSLIBRARY_CONFIG=OSA -I../inc/ -Ic:/Progra~1/AQ430/include/ -link license.c

"license.c", line 33: Character string too long (> 510 characters)
1 fatal error
aq430: aq430c error return -1 -- processing terminated
$ echo $?
0

From what I just read on google groups :-), I believe this is a correct way to obtain aq430.exe's return code in this case. I also tried:

$ rm file.does.not.exist
rm: cannot remove 'file.does.not.exist': No such file or directory
$ echo $?
1

Just to be sure ...

So, it looks like for whatever reason, aq430.exe returns a 0 in this case in the Cygwin environment, but a proper error code (I presume -1) in mingw. Therefore it's not a make issue, but rather has something to do with the way aq430.exe is interacting with the shell ... Very odd.
