It is an > indication that you are using Cygwin make, which the docs explicitly > say to avoid for this reason. You are right. I am using cygwin make. The reason is recent suggestion by Guy Gascoigne. Until recently I used to use mingw to build emacs with MSYS tools. It builds emacs but I encountered a problem with "grep" package autoload. Guy's suggestion is to use cygwin environment since MSYS sh has some known problem. That automatically let me opt to use cygwin make. What is the right way to build emacs with mingw now? -Tak
