Csaba, Warren, and Dave:

Thanks for all of your replies.

The syntax/line:
+++
$(error This project does not build in Cygwin)
+++

is exactly what I was looking for as I didn't know how to force an exit. 
I just tried it out and it works like a champ.

I also looked it up in GNU make man pages and it is there ... I don't 
know how I missed it last night as I "thought" I checked for error. My 
oversight on missing it, it was probably too late in the evening.

Paul
