Eclipse NSDEE build works the first time after a clean then fails with error ‘target pattern contains no ‘%’

Cause: The installed version of make does not support file names of the form C:\… in a dependency file (.d)

Effect: the build fails with the above error

Recovery: Check the version of cygwin make by opening the cygwin terminal and enter the command ‘make —version’ , if the version is between 3.8.1 and 4.0 Install version 3.8.0 of make.exe in cygwin/bin directory from http://geant4.slac.stanford.edu/installation/extras/cygwin/make.exe

Not all browsers will let you download an executable.
