"Error -1" usually means that make can't find the program it is trying
to run, which in this case is gcc. Is the djgpp\bin directory in your
path? If you are having to type a full file path to run make, eg.
c:\djgpp\bin\make.exe, then you have it set up wrong.

Eli: I was just about to suggest that he go read the FAQ, but upon
trying to find the relevant section number, I discovered that there
doesn't seem to be any reference to putting the bin dir in your path! Am
I just hopelessly incompetent and looking in the wrong place, or is this
info truly absent? (as if there's _anything_ that isn't in the FAQ
somewhere :-)
