I've never used "make" for anything.  Most of the C compilers
I've used have had GUI shells that handled everything automagically.

BTW, I just recently got GCC running on my Amiga.  I had a copy on CD-ROM
with an automatic script to initialize it and set everything up.  Of course
it was awfully slow running from CD-ROM, but I didn't have space on the
hard drive.  Unfortunately, I blew a SCSI controller, and I cannot get the
new one to access the CD-ROM for some reason.   :-(   I will keep working
on it.

Anyhow, I found GCC is not really that hard to use once it's installed
correctly.  Very likely that's where I will start when I get my OS/2
platform going.  Unfortunately, these hardware problems will cause even
more delays in getting my new system together.
