Running make again gives the Kai> following output: I've never been able to successfully compile Emacs with MinGW or cygwin... even with 21.3. With MSVC there are issues such as having to change all the *.tit files under leim dir to be unix coding system, but once that's done I didn't have any other issues. I seem to recall that if you have both MinGW and cygwin installed on the same box to make sure the MinGW/bin dir is before cygwin/bin in the path. Maybe do 'which make' to ensure you are calling the right make.
