Ok, I posted a question previously that was related, but I now have more details. Make v3.76.1 ALWAYS returns "*** no targets". When I use the -d option I see that is is not finding the makefile. I even try the -f option to force it to use the makefile there. Here is the new STRANGE info I have discovered: When I open the dosbox (Start->Programs->Dos Prompt): 1) If I do a "D:" and the working directory is d:\dev\djgpp\<anything> make WILL work fine once I cd to the directory I want to 'make' in. 2) If I do a "D:" and the working directory is NOT d:\dev\djgpp\<anything> make WILL NOT work no matter what I do. If I edit the pif for the dos prompt to set the default directory to d:\dev\djgpp\<anything> this WILL NOT help. The only wat I can get it to work is if I run a program from d:\dev\djgpp\<anything> from Explorer immeadiatly before I start the DOS prompt. This makes the DOS prompt start the D: wrking directory in dev\djgpp\<whateever> What is going on here. This is baffeling. Is there something trivial I am missing? Thanks for any help. Chris
