One possible reason: the file named 'makefile' may be invisible under
that name, for a DOS application, due to NT's lack for LFN support.
DJGPP applications might see that file under the name 'makefi~1' or
some similarly cryptic short alias filename. Please check the short
filenames (the 'dir' of NT has an option to display them, IIRC).
