It seems that djgpp uses : some DPMI interface with which the Borland program conflict. : The error message of make is not telling to much: : k:\binpatch>g:\dos_gcc\BIN\make -f testy2 : f:\bp\bin\bpc : make.exe: *** [all] Error -1 What happens if you type `f:\bp\bin\bpc'? Does it work? What make is saying here is that bpc returned exit code -1. Normally non-zero exit codes indicate errors, so make quits at that stage. I haven't used bpc, but I would have expected it to take some command line parameters, to tell it what to compile. Is this not the case? Your makefile doesn't contain any. -- George Foot Merton College, Oxford.
