no, your problem is something else.


Do you have the file  "/home/src/gnucap-0.35/src/d_bjt.model"?

in src/Makefile.in there is something like this:

.SUFFIXES: .model .cc .o .obj

and later:

c_getckt.${OBJEXT}: ${MODELSRCS}

%.cc : %.model %.h ${MODELGEN}
        ${MODELGEN} -cc $<

%.h : %.model ${MODELGEN}
        ${MODELGEN} -h $<

and d_bjt.cc is listed in MODELSRCS.  So make should be able to figure 
out from the suffix rule that if it has a d_bjt.model and needs a 
d_bjt.cc then just run modelgen.

Just for kicks, what does

make --version

tell you?

I'll try to find some spare cycles to try a cygwin build tonight 
although my cygwin install is probably a year old.
