behavior on Win depends on whether \ or / is used??

Hello,  this is a Windows question,



I have 2 subdirectories foobar0 and foobar1, and only in foobar1 there is a file foobar.s  . There is no file foobar.o .



The makefile is:





SHELL=cmd.exe



vpath %.s .\foobar0 .\foobar1



%.o : %.s

            echo $<



foobar0\foobar.s:;





This behaves as expected:



C:\tmp>make foobar.o

echo .\foobar1/foobar.s





However, if I change all the backslashes to forward-slashes, then I get:





C:\tmp>make foobar.o

make: *** No rule to make target `foobar.s', needed by `foobar.o'.  Stop.



(this is just a small example, what I observe is that forward slash in directories, misbehaves with vpath on Windows)



Is this a bug in Windows make, or in my head?



Mark
