I'm not sure. I would be happy if *.o files would be created.

I put a `-' in front of "clean :" in makefile.dj2 and in 
/src/makefile.dj2 (the first rule here deals with this "if exist del 
bgi\*.o") with the following result:

C:\DJGPP\contrib\grx245>make -f makefile.dj2
c:/djgpp/bin/make.exe -C src -f makefile.dj2
make.exe[1]: Entering directory `c:/DJGPP/contrib/grx245/src'

make.exe[2]: Entering directory `c:/DJGPP/contrib/grx245/src'
make.exe[2]: Nothing to be done for `clean'.
make.exe[2]: Leaving directory `c:/DJGPP/contrib/grx245/src'
if not exist systag.004 del systag.*

I have tried then also to call make with `-d'. For every include file 
and the makefile.dj2s he searches a lot of implicit rules for 
implicit prerequisites. He does the same for target all which was not 
`.phony'.
I put it to phony targets and the implicit rule search for target all 
stopped. He seems to follow the correct way through the files for his 
first run. Then he should really build the targets and fails. 
In /src/makefile.dj2 he tries to make all:

Updating goal targets....
Considering target file `all'.
 File `all' does not exist.
  Considering target file `../lib/dj2/libgrx20.a'.
   File `../lib/dj2/libgrx20.a' does not exist.

# Now i think he should make it. But:

    Considering target file `systag.004'.
     File `systag.004' does not exist.
     Finished prerequisites of target file `systag.004'.
    Must remake target `systag.004'.

# ok. then make first this. But:

make.exe[1]: Entering directory `c:/DJGPP/contrib/grx245/src'

# ?? i still am in src-directory ??

c:/djgpp/bin/make.exe -f makefile.dj2 clean

# ?? why only clean, please make me something useful ??

That's it.

Some additional information:

I donot posess till the moment any linux shells so no 
confusion with bash is possible.
