Hello DJ,

I tried to make an SUIT (Simple User Interface Toolkit) executable for 
Windows or DOS using DJGCC 1.11m5 with the makefile shown below but I
have never succeeded due to linker errors. The error message is listed
after the makefile. How to make ld knows where to find -lsuit -lsrgp
-lgrx etc. beside specifying the corresponding -Llibpaths in the Makefile?

Thanks for help. Have a nice weekend.

Alex
