There are several potential problems in the makefile, but we can't help
you without some specific indication of what went wrong.  Simply saying,
"It doesn't work," isn't sufficient.  Try to capture the output of make
by using the following command line:

   redir -o err -eo make -f makefile.dj2

Then post the 'err' file along with the makefile.

However, I'm going to make some general recommendations in the hopes
that one of them will prove to work.

Well, you did read the instructions, right?  You typed "make -f
makefile.dj2" instead of just "make", right?

Do you have 'install.exe'?  If not, change this.  'install' isn't part
of the standard DJGPP distribution.  However, 'ginstall.exe' is
distributed with the GNU Fileutils port in 'v2gnu/fil313b.zip'.  If you
installed that package, you could simply change 'install' to 'ginstall'.

'rm.exe' is needed for the 'clean' target, and is also found in the GNU
Fileutils.  If you don't have it, do what it says here.

Everything else looks fine, without a specific error message to point me
to something.
