RE: Problem with GNUMake

Hi Eli,
Thanks for the reply.
yeah...I have not installed rm.exe.......Where can I get that exe from ?
Is this problem coming because of that? 
SO, for running GNUMake on Windows, do I need to install all the executables
required for various functionalities like for deleting files or for some
other purpose?
Can't I use the <DEL> command of Command window to serve the same purpose of
deleting files in my MakeFile?

Regards,
Ashish

Is it possible that you don't have rm.exe installed, and Make tries to 
invoke `rm'?
