Thank you for the quick response.  I did download bash and other
utilities, such as mv, ls and etc.  Here are the makefiles:

The following is the makefile in the top of the directory
*********************************************************************
SHELL = /bin/sh
CC = gcc
INCLUDE = -I./include
CCFLAGS = -O2
LDFLAG =
LIBS = -lm

SUBDIR1 = ./util

all : main

main : main.c stopW
 -$(CC) $(INCLUDE) $(CCFLAGS) -o hello.exe $@.c $(util) $(LIBS)

util = $(SUBDIR1)/stopW.o

stopW :
 cd $(SUBDIR1); $(MAKE) all;

clean :
 del main.o
 cd $(SUBDIR1); $(MAKE) clean;

strip :
 strip hello.exe
******************************************************************

The following is the makefile in the top directory / util directory

SHELL = /bin/sh
CC = gcc
INCLUDE = -I../include
CCFLAGS = -Wall -O2

all : stopWatch

stopWatch : stopW.c
 -$(CC) $(CCFLAGS) $(INCLUDE) -c stopW.c

clean :
 del stopW.o
********************************************************************
Here is the output when I run make:

bash$ make
cd ./util; c:/djgpp/bin/make.exe all;
make.exe[1]: Entering directory 'c:/home/hlai/src/util'
gcc -Wall -O2 -I../include -c stopW.c
make.exe[1]: Leaving directory 'c:/home/hlai/src/util'
No command name seen.
make.exe: *** [stopW] Error -1

bash$

*****************************************************************

Please help.  Thanks again.
