What could be the problem with my make? I recently grabbed the public domain make stuff off the net. I compiled it and made myself a makefile and proceded to drive myself crazy for the next few hours! If I say: C> make foo.exe my makefile lines will look like: # all standard type lines foo.exe : foo.obj link foo foo.obj : foo.c foo.h cc -c foo.c I will always get the error: Don't know how to make foo.h if I take out foo.h from the dependencies Don't know how to make foo.c Now, it isn't supposed to make those files and it's supposed to know that. Make will not even make itself with the makefile provided. That appears to be because I obviously don't have the shell scripts that the author is invoking under the statement ... "Don't touch this stuff below this line ... " or some such warning. I produced make with regular compiler statements from command line. I also set the stack size for what it said in it's makefile. My only guess is that I don't have enough memory to exec() the compiler. I only have 256. Is this the case or is the secret in producing a makefile that looks as cryptic as the one provided for make itself? Thanks in Advance, Vaughn Vernon AT&T ISL - Denver, CO ihnp4!drutx!drux1!vlv
