Re: 3.14.10 on native win32: make problem

[Ralph Lange <Ralph.Lange@helmholtz-berlin.de>]

Thanks Andrew,

instead of the README I was only reading the RULES_DIRS file itself 
which says (at the beginning of the block that produces the error)

   # Only works with GNU make 3.80 or later (uses eval function)

So I thought I was fine - but I wasn' t.

Cheers,
Ralph
