What make program were you using?

I would not be surprised if nmake does not support this. Though maybe
you were running cygwin?

Did you get the same error line number for these other versions? I
would expect the same error to always correspond to
    "YAPPS := $(patsubst %.pm,%.yp,$(PARSERS))"

Some folks have done this on windows. Could someone say what perl
executable (and package) they used, and whether they ran it under
cygwin?
