At the risk of sounding stupid (it's 3:30 am here, after all), are
you sure you need to recompile grx to install it?  All you should
need to do is unzip the thing into the contrib directory and the
header files and libraries should already be there.  The only
reason you'd need to rebuild grx20 is if you wanted to alter the
source (i.e., patches/bug fixes).  That said...

Have you looked at the makefile in the grx20 directory?  Chances
are something simple is wrong at around line 10 or so.  If you
can't figure out what it is, post the makefile (or an appropriate
fragment - say lines 1-20) here and we'll try to debug it for you.
Alternatively, check to make sure that DJGPP's make is in your
PATH before any other makes (such as Borland's) that you may have
installed.  It's possible that Borland Make might not recognize
certain GNU constructs like the "%.o : %.c"-type rule style, and
keywords like ".PHONY", etc.

Can anybody with more grx20 experience add to this?
