Re: GNU make help on patsubst

[Chad Loder]

If you're using Cygwin, you might try something
like the this (it's worked well for me):

# or whatever uname -s gives you on your system
ifeq ("$(shell uname -s)","CYGWIN_NT-5.0")
   nativepath = $(foreach x,$(1),'$(shell cygpath -wa $(x))')
else
   nativepath = $(foreach x,$(1),$(x))
endif

And then you can use $(call nativepath,$@) and similar
things in your commands.
