This is a port of GNU make 4.2.1 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

   Make is a program for building other programs, given a description of
   the dependencies between the files.


   DJGPP specific changes.
   =======================

   - There are no DJGPP specific user visible changes.

   - The port has been tested by using it.  I have used them only on WinXP.
     It has worked flawlessly.  I do not konw if this will ever be the case on
     FreeDOS.  I have never used/tested them in that environment.

   - The port has been configured and compiled on WinXP SP3 and on Win98SE.
     There is no guarantee that this may be possible with any other DOS-like OS.
     Due to the massive use of long file names it will not be possible to configure
     and compile without LFN support.  The port has been compiled using gcc510
     and bnu225br3.

   - The port does not provide NLS support.  No one of the required libraries
     have been ported using DJGPP 2.05.


   As usual, all djgpp specific files (diffs, README files, etc.) are stored in
   the /djgpp directory.  The sources have been configured to be build in the
   /_build directory.  If for some reason it does not work for you, delete it
   contents and configure from scratch again.

   For further information about GNU make please read the info docs and NEWS file.
