Hi,

I hope that this question is not too elementary to ask.

I recently installed djgpp in order to compile some C programs that were 
made to be compiled with djgpp from a MAKE file. I have the make file, which 
is large, but can not even run the test program in the make file, that is 
only a couple of lines. For example a small make file is as follows:

HELLOSRC = hello.c hello2.c hello3.c

HELLOO = ${HELLOSRC:.c=.o}

hello.exe: ${HELLOO}

${LINK} $@ ${HELLOO}



I called this small program  "make_hello". When I ran it by invoking "make 
make_hello" I got

"make.exe: *** No rule to make target 'hello.o', needed by 'hello.exe'. 
Stop."



However, if I type the following in at the command line:

"gcc hello.c hello2.c hello3.c -o hello.exe -lm"



the file is compiled, linked and the .exe is created.



I expect that this has something to do with the way that the MAKE macros are 
not being created/assigned and the compiler can not read tham. Does this 
also relate to environmental variables? I am running on a new PC with WinXp 
SP2.



Suggestions are welcome.

Thank You

Tom
