You didn't say you were using NT in the previous message.  I'd guess that 
the long file names were created by some non-DJGPP program.  If so, their 
short 8+3 aliases have those pesky numeric tails attached to them, and 
that fails the DJGPP Make because short aliases is all DJGPP programs can 
see on NT.

In this case, the short alias of `dbgmodule.c' is something like 
`dbgmod~1.c' (you can verify this with "dir /x"), whereas Make looks for 
`dbgmodul.c'.  That's why it fails.

If you want the DJGPP Make to work on NT with such file names, you need 
to disable the numeric tails (the DJGPP FAQ explains how).

See?  It says the file does not exist.
