Why does my make fail on Cygwin with an execvp error?


First of all, if you are using make -j[N], then stop. It doesn't work well.
Also beware of using non-portable shell features in your Makefiles (see tips at
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.using.html#faq.using.shell-scripts).

Errors of make: execvp: /bin/sh: Illegal Argument or make: execvp: /bin/sh:
Argument list too long are often caused by the command-line being to long for
the Windows execution model. To circumvent this, mount the path of the
executable using the -X switch to enable cygexec for all executables in that
folder; you will also need to exclude non-cygwin executables with the -x
switch. Enabling cygexec causes cygwin executables to talk directly to one
another, which increases the command-line limit. To enable cygexec for /bin and
/usr/bin, you can add or change these entries in /etc/fstab: 

C:/cygwin/bin /bin ntfs binary,cygexec 0 0
C:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin ntfs binary,cygexec 0 0
