Well, the corrupted copy is still corrupt. Even after copying all files from the trunk of my well working copy of gimp-help-2, comparing the two trunks says all the files are equal, but the error is still there when running the make command. Of cause I tried your suggestions, but all looks fine to me. (Though I'm not a (Python) programmer so perhaps I overlooked something). I have given up finding what causes the error. It could be some hidden codes in the files (or perhaps that the copying process generates some) not recognized by most programs but essential to Cygwin. As I'm unable to step through the program, the only way to figure out what's going on seems to be doing a manual comparing in hex code for every file in the trunk. I don't go for that time consuming job :-\ . The solution was to delete all files in the gimp-help-2/trunk and then run 'svn update' to get a fresh copy of gimp-help-2. Now the Cygwin runs happily as it should. > >> I have tried to figure out where this message is generated without >> any luck.

No ^M's. You told me this command half a year ago or so :-) . Thank you for your help.
