Get Sergey's latest coolview binaries from http://www.lexa.ru/sos/. unzip and
untar. Copy cygwin.dll to *both* places that it exists in your cygwin directory
tree.
That has fixed this problem for us.

Dear all,
I have a problem with exporting variables in makefile using GNU make v3.75
distributed in Cygnus's gnu-win32-b18 package. It simply does not work. Here is
an example with the top-level makefile calling make on subordinate makefile:
file: Makefile:
-------------------
MYVAR=alex
export MYVAR
trg1:
echo MAKELEVEL is $(MAKELEVEL)
echo MYVAR is $(MYVAR)
$(MAKE) -f Makefile.sub
echo MAKELEVEL is $(MAKELEVEL)
echo MYVAR is $(MYVAR)
file: Makefile.sub:
-------------------------
trg1:
echo MAKELEVEL is $(MAKELEVEL)
echo MYVAR is $(MYVAR)
output of make -f Makefile:
--------------------------------------
bash$ make
echo MAKELEVEL is 0
MAKELEVEL is 0
echo MYVAR is alex
MYVAR is alex
make -f Makefile.sub
echo MAKELEVEL is 0
MAKELEVEL is 0
echo MYVAR is
MYVAR is
echo MAKELEVEL is 0
MAKELEVEL is 0
echo MYVAR is alex
MYVAR is alex
Note that MAKELEVEL environment variable does not work as advertised either.
I tried running GNU make v3.73 obtained from elsewhere on the net, and it worked
fine!
Any ideas how to overcome this problem?
Thanks,
