I have some problems running a makefile with LFN=y set. This snippet:

ifeq ($(call path_find,$(AS)),)
chk_as:
@echo \"$(AS)\" not found on path. Edit Makefile manually.
endif

doesn't find e:\djgpp\bin\as.exe even when "e:\djgpp\bin" is in my PATH.
With "LFN=n" everything is working fine. Any clues?

I'm using djgpp 2.03 and
GNU Make version 3.79.2a1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for i386-pc-msdosdjgpp

That's for too much exotic makefile for me too understand.

You don't tell us which DOS you're using.

However it doesn't work that well in Linux either, FWIW:
