      I am not using the DJGPP port of GMAKE, but was told this group
may be able to help me. I have also tried using the DJGPP gmake, but do not
know how to set up the GO32 env. What is the BARE minimum that I need to
run GMAKE for DJGPP.

     I am having problems getting the DOS version of GMAKE 3.71 to work
properly and would like the nets help on this. I have already invested a
great deal of time in writing makefiles for GMAKE and I am pleased with
the capabilities of GMAKE.  However, it keeps telling me "Virtual Memory
Exhausted" after EXACTLY 15 object files are compiled. I believe there is
a memory leak someplace in GMAKE, since the error occurs when the Object
files are being created and at such a predictable point. I compile more
than 15 files and if make is executed again, the remaining files compile
correctly. The OS used is Windows 95 and my computer is a Compaq Presario
CDS720. The rule use for object file makeing follows : 

ifneq ($(strip $(COBJS)),)
$(COBJS)                ::      $(OBJDIR)/%.obj :       %.c
                        @echo "Before Compilation of $@ c"
                        @$(CLEANUP_BEFORE_COMPILE)
                        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c  -o$@ $<
                        @echo "After Compilation of $@ C"
$(COBJS)                ::
                        @touch $(OBJDIR)/makeobjs.@@@
                        @sh -c "echo ' & ' >> $(OBJDIR)/makeobjs.@@@"
                        @sh -c "echo  ' -+ $@ \c' >> $(OBJDIR)/makeobjs.@@@ "

                        @touch $(OBJDIR)/newdeps.@@@
                        @sh -c "echo 'include $@ ' | sed 's/\.obj/.d/g;' >> $(OBJDIR)/newdeps.@@@ "
endif


P.S. I am suspicious of the :: in this definition, but I need to define 
this rule twice and than one aways executed.


                     Thanks in Advance!
