Hye,

for God`s sake, it works.!!!

I put a `-' in front of every command in the clean-target area and it 
made me all addons an some other stuff. Then it stopped again with an 
error at "if not exist systag.004 del systag.*". So i put a `-' in 
front of the command in target $(DOS_DJGPP_V2) and make compiled the 
other targets. Then i tried to call the make install "whatever" 
commands successivly. They didn't work. No fontdirectory was made (i 
set the directory in makedefs.grx) and any file was copied to djgpp
\lib  \include (which still exist) and the like.

So i did it by hand and it worked.

The testfiles do their job and the grxhello-example has been compiled 
and runs without any problem. Nevertheless it's a little unsatisfying 
not to understand where the problem really was.

absolutely,yes.

it was the unzip32.exe downloaded from delorie after using the 
ZipPicker. The installation tree is absolutely correct with \contrib
\grx246.

Now it's all well done make runs absolutely without errors through 
all the targets without mentioning "clean" and without remaking 
anything (as it should).

But still installing does not work. This at least IMO must have 
something to do with the Shell.

A few minutes later ,,,,,,,

I deleted shell (absolutely not for the first time). Now it copies 
everything to the correct place and integrates either the info page.

It's make version 3.79.1.

You are so right, yippie.
