RE: makedepend in 2000-07-19 xfree86-4.0-Prog.tar.bz2

Well, if you have problems with chmod, you might
consider reporting it to Cygwin mailing list.  I never
had problems with Makedepend when compiling XFree86
4.x.
Makedepend may fail to rename Makefiles if there are
permission problems.  Permissions are not set by
makedepend, therefore it not a makedepend bug.  There
were some problems reported to xfree86-developers list
for Makedepend in Xfree86 3.9.16.  That was a long
time ago and those problems were observed only on
RedHat Linux, and were fixed. 

As i said before, under GCC #define UseGccMakeDepend
YES in the *.cf files is a better choice if your
compiler is GCC.  Because cygwin uses GCC, therefore
I would suggest using GCCMakeDepend.
