   When I try to make the attached makefile I get the following error

   makefile.dj:13: ***Target pattern contains no '%'. Stop

   Anyone know why???

   I checked the tabs, they are tabs, and other things like putting the 
   complete path in.

   I can compile and run by hand, but not with make.

....

Line 13:
   enumw_dj.exe: $(DJGPP)\rsxwdk\rsxw32.exe
                         ^      ^

If you are using GNU Make avoid backslashes in rules.  Make this rule:

   enumw_dj.exe: $(DJGPP)/rsxwdk/rsxw32.exe

If this still gives you trouble you might try using VPATH or vpath to 
eliminate the disk specification (d:) in $(DJGPP).  GNU Make sometime has 
trouble with these in rules also.
