I don't know why the readme file says this; you do not need to rebuild
GRX once you install it.  The package comes with a prebuild library that
goes in the contrib/grx20/lib directory, and the LIBRARY_PATH variable
in the standard 'djgpp.env' is preset with this directory.  In short,
you should be able to start using GRX 2.0 right out of the box.

This is not the output of GNU make.  You probably have some other Make
program in your PATH before the DJGPP make program, and this is causing
all sorts of problems.  Get 'v2gnu/mak375b.zip' from SimTel, and make
sure that you don't have any other compilers in your PATH.

In any case, I don't see any reason why GRX can't be build as
distributed.  When I tried it just now, I got output that looked like
this:

---snip---
cd src
d:/djgpp/bin/make.exe
make.exe[1]: Entering directory `d:/djgpp/contrib/grx20/src'
gcc -c -O6 -Wall -m486 -I. -I./include -I../include draw/bitblt.c -o
draw/bitblt.o
gcc -c -O6 -Wall -m486 -I. -I./include -I../include draw/box.c -o
draw/box.o
---snip---

and more along the same line.  If this isn't what you see when you run
make, you're doing something wrong.
