I want the source so that I can recompile with DJGPP V2 and (ab)use long file names. However, I have found that the sources I locate are either incorrect or have a makefile that invokes, say, awk, sed and tar. In the case of DJGPP, sed118 has a makefile that uses ln and tar and, perhaps, others. This is a chicken and egg problem. Are there makefiles that do not rely on other programs?
