I suggest you get the latest Make 3.75 (mak375b.zip) though, as it has several significant improvements for DOS/Windows platforms. > Are there any caveats to using make this way? There are always caveats with Make ;-). Seriously, this depends on the kind of trickery that you need to do on your Makefile. The subtle points are too many to describe or even remember, unless presented with a specific case. I suggest you try it and if you have problems that you cannot understand, post questions here. Also, the non-DJGPP tools you are going to invoke from Make should better not be 16-bit DPMI programs, because DPMI 0.9 spec precludes mixing them with 32-bit DPMI programs (such as DJGPP port of Make or any other DJGPP program).
