The error message indicates that Bash is not invoked.  The most
probable cause for this is that you don't have sh.exe which is a
``symlink'' to bash.exe.  Try running your Makefile again after typing
the following from the DOS prompt:

	      ln -s c:/djgpp/bin/bash c:/djgpp/bin/sh

(this assumes `ln' from the ported Fileutils package).

In general, you should avoid semi-colons at the end of the command
lines: they are redundant and aren't supported by the DJGPP port of
Make unless the Makefile says "SHELL=/bin/sh".  But they *did* work
for me when Bash is invoked by Make.
