I'm a newcomer to the world of development with DJGPP and DOS. I have
been trying in vain the past few days to get a "simple" makefile 
running. I originally wrote it for unix, but am now porting the
application to dos. All of the documentation that I have read with
the INFO utility seems to be general purpose and more intended for
a unix environment.

My problem in general is this:

If I don't use macros in the command (ie. hardcode everything), and
have everything all in one directory it works fine. If I try to
start using mutiple directorys for everything, for example, a source
directory, an object file directory, an executable directory, etc.
the make utility will stop. I have tried a variety of different 
things with no success. My guess is that make doesn't like the 
backslash that dos uses, but I don't know how to get around it.
