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. > # This makefile is for DJGPP v2.0 (Delorie's GNU C port) on MS-DOS. > # Tested on jpeg-6a by Frank J. Donahoe. > # Read installation instructions before saying "make -f makefile.dj2" !! Well, you did read the instructions, right? You typed "make -f makefile.dj2" instead of just "make", right? > # miscellaneous OS-dependent stuff > # If install.exe is not found, change to copy /Y > INSTALL=install 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'. > # File deletion command. The default is "rm -f."

Everything else looks fine, without a specific error message to point me to something. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
