Well if it won't build, how will I eventually compile programs that
use GRX?

Yes, I have looked at the make file.

I can't figure it out.  The make file in the root directory is:
#
# GRX 2.0 makefile for DJGPP distribution version
#
include makedefs.gnu

libs    :   $(STAMP)
    cd src
    $(MAKE)
    cd ..

test    :   libs
    cd test
    $(MAKE)
    cd ..

I don't have Borland C installed only DJGPP.  And the only make in my
path is GNU Make.

Please? Anyone?
