when you put the line

gcc -I..\h -c calls.c

in your makefile, make sees the backslash as an escape character.
Either you put -I../h  or yout have to escape the backslash like
-I..\\

For the second question: The loop above is not supported by make. Make
calls the shell to do the loop and under MS-DOS there is an other syntax
for doing loops. If you want to do such things, which ar supprted by
an unix shell, you need a DOS-port of such a shell and set up the
variable SHELL to point to this shell.
