Re: patch to common.make for cygwin paths

[Stephen Brandon]

Hi,

Hmmm, I'm still getting the warnings after updating from
CVS. What's going on is that $(GNUSTEP_TARGET_OS) has not
been set by the time it's being checked in common.make. I
tested setting GNUSTEP_TARGET_OS from the command line
before doing the "make target=i386-mingw32" and that did the
right thing.

But - shouldn't the "target" I specify in  "make
target=i386-mingw32" become the internal GNUSTEP_TARGET_OS
variable? Or perhaps that only happens in a subsequent part
of the makefile system?

Cheers,
Stephen
