Hello GNU Make-Win2 platform,
I am attaching a makefile called maketest.mak.
I find that $(*F) Special Macro is not being printed under Windows platform.
Can you please confirm whether it is a BUG or not in GNU Make version 3.81?
Following is the display output when I run the maketest.mak file :
************************************************************

If you see in the GNU Make result,
-- depend
-- product
lines above doesn't contain the corresponding expansion macro $(*F).
Thank you.
