I'm using dmake too, basically here what I do,

CC=gcc
# CFLAGS=-g -Wall -Zomf -Zsys -Zmtd
CFLAGS=-O2 -s -Wall -Zomf -Zmtd -Zsys
DEF_FILE=e:\so\common\generic.def
OBJEXT=obj
SDIR=e:\so\os2\src
# these are all the .obj's required to build your program
OBJS=fm.$(OBJEXT) \
$(SDIR)\inkey.$(OBJEXT) \
$(SDIR)\scrn.$(OBJEXT) \
$(SDIR)\str.$(OBJEXT)

# I don't know what this does
.SUFFIXES: .c .$(OBJEXT) .exe

.c.$(OBJEXT):
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $<
# very important, above must be a real tab 0x09

fm.exe: 	 $(OBJS) $(DEF_FILE)
        $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o fm.exe $(OBJS) $(DEF_FILE)
# very important, above must be a real tab 0x09

# these are the dependencies, if any .c or .h file is newer than the obj, it
# will be rebuild the .obj
fm.$(OBJEXT):             fm.c  fm.h  common.h
$(SDIR)\inkey.$(OBJEXT):  $(SDIR)\inkey.c $(SDIR)\inkey.h
$(SDIR)\scrn.$(OBJEXT):   $(SDIR)\scrn.c  $(SDIR)\scrn.h
$(SDIR)\str.$(OBJEXT):    $(SDIR)\str.c   $(SDIR)\str.h


That's all you do, I have about 51 files in my current makefile and have hit
any limits on that aspect of it yet. :-)

Note that the above will place all .obj's in the same directory as the
respective .c source file, I'm trying to find how to get all the .obj's in
to one defined directory, but that is among the least of my problems. :-)
