I ran into something similar just last night compiling the version
from CVS on Cygwin. But the message I got was "install up to date"
and an immediate return. Taking the '@'s off the "cd" lines below
"install:" confirmed that it did nothing. I did what the makefile
should have done (did a cd to the three subdirectories and did "make
install" in each of them) and all of them worked correctly.
Since it worked, sort of, and since I'm no makefile maven, I didn't
investigate it further, but while I was fooling with it, I noticed
that there were some extra spaces in the (generated) top level
Makefile. Perhaps the problem lies there? Or perhaps I've got an
"install" somewhere in my $PATH?
Anyhow, try what I did, and I suspect that will get you going.
