→Problem: "target `c' doesn't match the target pattern" error
My typical solution to any problems is "consulting" my old friend [http://www.google.com Google]. It seemed like quite a few people encountered the same problem. I found out from a forum that the problem was that I didn't have the right version of Make. I had Make 3.81 which should have been Make 3.80.
I pulled up the [http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Windows_Build_Prerequisites#GNU_Tools_for_Microsoft_Windows_.28Cygwin.29 GNU Tools for Microsoft Windows (Cygwin)] installation guide again, and realized that I have missed out the part where it mentioned <b>make 3.80 (not 3.81!) -- dependency analyzer for software builds (Devel category)</b> as one of the required packages. <b>However, when I reinstalled Cygwin again, it didn't give me an option to choose Make 3.80!! </b>
