The makefiles which come with the distribution are not for NMAKE, but for the version of GNU make which comes with the Cygwin (unix emulator) package. > Anyway, what I need is a makefile which works on both linux and win32, > depending on a platform.

I thought I can use generic ROOT test Makefile > upper part for that... Can I? I think what you need to do is install Cygwin on your Windows system. I am not a Unix/Linux expert, so I actually build my own Root-based programs by creating a Visual Studio project for them and doing it "the Windows way". I don't have experience, therefore, in using Cygwin make to build my own programs. But to build Root itself, I'm afraid you need Cygwin because NMAKE won't work with the makefiles of the distribution. You also need Cygwin to build other HEP packages like CLHEP and GEANT4 on Windows. If you are a Linux person, you will probably find it more familiar to work within Cygwin's bash-like shell anyway. You can get Cygwin at: http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ Dave dcasper@uci.edu
