I suspect you interpreted those hints incorrectly. The name suggests this makefile would be for DesqView/X, the ancient (now freely available) version of X11 for the DesqView multitasker which supported DJGPP as its system compiler. If you're running on normal DOS with DV, you probably don't want this makefile. I second the suggestion made by somebody else in this thread: use the ./configure script method (after installing the required set of Tools). Or maybe just get the last ghostscript binary/source version available for DJGPP, and start from that, instead of the mainline source tarball. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
