Re: [Freedos-user] more makefiles.
Each directory that has stuff to be built has its own (customized) "makefile". From the DOS command line, "cd" to the desired directory, and run command "make" or "make install" (as appropriate). This results in the directory's files being built (using the information in 'makefile'). Sometimes makefiles may have a name other than 'makefile'. If your makefile is named "kurt.mak" then running "make -f kurt.mak" tells the make command to use "kurt.mak" rather than "makefile". HTH.

I guess that you are refering to my previous post. It's hard to follow because the newsreader which I use did put your recent post in a new thread - perhaps because the thread's name has been changed? To make things easier to follow please cite parts of the posts you are replying to! Anyways, this "djgpp hack" which someone mentioned is hardly something which you want to try. It's a hack which can make a DJGPP binary run in a flat, zero-based memory model - under normal circumstances you don't "need" this, because the standard way of doing things in DJGPP works fine. -- Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
