Is there a utility that creates this file? Probably --- but not for DJGPP, as it is. It would probably help if you could give some more details. Like the name of the package, and what compiler it's supposed to be used with, originally. > Is the application source code / makefile possibly broken? Not necessarily. But probably it's not meant for DJGPP. Makefiles, if not very carefully written, are about the most unportable thing you can find in a typical Unix source code. Some people have installed GNU make on their Unix boxes, even they they don't have any other GNU software, simply for that reason: using GNU make on all platforms is about the only way to gain compatible access to a reasonable set of features across many different platforms. -- Hans-Bernhard Broeker (broeker AT physik DOT rwth-aachen DOT de) Even if all the snow were burnt, ashes would remain.
