Ok fellas, here we go,

I'm trying to write the most simple makefile for the
most simple of C programs, hello.cc ... yet I get

makefile:5: *** missing separator. Stop


The makefile goes like:

# gnu makefile
all : hello.exe

hello.exe : hello.cc
        gcc -O2 hello.cc -o hello.exe
# eof

I can compile the little bugger from the
command line:

C:\> gcc -O2  hello.cc -o hello.exe

After not being able to figure it out
I grabbed the \djgpp\src\makefile
copied it and modified it for hello.cc
Yet I got the same thing!

What is _it_ that I'm missing?


Also, these makefiles are fairly GNU standard?
compatible with gnu make-3.7.4 that I use for Linux?
So if I setup the OS specific variables such as
"target extension $(EXE)", etc, I should be able to have 
the same makefile for both platforms by just editing
(un/commenting) the right make variables??


Any ideas greatly appreaciated


Cheers,
