Cygwin make error : *** target pattern contains no `%'

Question

I got this error while (re)building, using cygwin make.exe version :3.81.

Error : *** target pattern contains no `%\'.

Answer 1

• rollback to make 3.80 (Geant4)

  • cd /usr/bin
  • mv make.exe make_381.exe
  • wget http://geant4.cern.ch/support/extras/cygwin/make.exe
  • chmod +x make.exe

• install libintl2 from cygwin setup for the required cygintl-2.dll
