This one happened to me. The fix is actually quite easy: look at the top few
lines of one of the files that managed to compile. You'll see a #include
preprocessor directive there (I think it's #include <windows.h>). You'll
notice that's not in the files that cause grc to crash (I think there are
two files with that problem). Put it in and it should work!

Note to whoever's busy with the port: you seem to have a bug. Sorry I forgot
to report it earlier...

This one's also easy:
gnu make (at least the one that comes with DJGPP) wants a tab at the
beginning of the command used to generate a target, as in:

foo.o : foo.c foobar.h
<TAB>gcc -c foo.c

If your editor's one of those that likes converting tabs to spaces (like DOS
edit) you're stuffed. I would suggest emacs, but it's a bit bloated for my
liking (I'm not a big lisp fan :). Try one called JED, the latest version
emulates emacs quite well and it's nice and small(ish).
