How to run makefile in Cygwin

Question

I am trying to run Makefile in cygwin. Error msg:

$ make /cygdrive/d/IoT/trunk/Macchina/TestBed/Makefile
make.exe: *** No rule to make target `/cygdrive/d/IoT/trunk/Macchina/TestBed/Makefile'.  Stop.

Please post error messages as text, not an image. It's impossible to read. — Jørgen R, Apr 15 '15 at 13:02

You don't give make the makefile as an argument like that.

cd to that directory and run make.

Or if that makefile is intended to be used from other directories as well then you can try make -f /cygdrive/d/IoT/trunk/Macchina/TestBed/Makefile.
