Hi,

I'm using the latest version of DJGPP, including gcc and make.  The
following, simple makefile doesn't work on my system (Windows XP).  I
receive the same error every time:  "make.exe: *** [hello.o] Error
-1".  The gcc line works fine from my DOS command prompt if I type it
in directly.

I see in the readme file that accompanies Make that the new release
made some changes regarding shells and shell-spawning, and I wonder if
that might be the problem.  I note that I cannot see any output from
gcc at all (not even with a simple "gcc -v").  The tail of the message
trail from a "make -d" is also listed below.

I am sure I am missing something very obvious.  Any help would be
greatly appreciated -- thanks.

Nick
