Problems with root directory of cygwin


Hi,

I just installed (with setup.exe) the latest version of cygwin on my NT
machine. Evrything went fine except for one small problem.

It seems that cygwin thinks that the directory where I installed it,
c:\Programme\cygwin, is the root directory and not c:\. That means if I do
a "cd /" I end up in c:\Programme\cygwin (although a cd //c brings me
correctly to c:\). The real problem comes now when I use makefiles to
compile programs. If a location in the makefile is specified like /bla,
the compiler looks in c:\Programme\cygwin\bla and not in c:\bla.

What am I doing wrong ? Do I somewhere have to specify a ROOT directory ?


Many thanks,
    
             Axel Kowald

P.S. I hope this is not a FAQ
