Re: Problem using MAKE

2005-04-10 by arhodes19044

Running MAKE from DOS?  Oh, Oh.  In XP (home), all that I can do, as 
far as I know, is open a DOS box.  I do not think that I can  drop 
into raw DOS the way I could in 98.

Isn't a DOS box good enough?

I did get a DOS box to come up and I can CD to the demo directory.  
From there I can issue the MAKE command.  MAKE does run, but says it 
can not see the makefile.  Of course the Makefile is right there in 
the current directory.

Why would this be?

It does not even like the "clean" arg to follow the MAKE command.

I am a little mystified.
