Re: makedepend in 2000-07-19 xfree86-4.0-Prog.tar.bz2

Have you checked that you really have a "Makefile" not
"MAKEFILE" or a "makefile" in the correct directory.
With fat35 I run very often in problems with case sensitive
names. Do not belief what the explorer shows you as a name,
use "ls" to get the real name from a file.
Is there an exiting "Makefile.bak"? If yes, try to remove it
and start again. Depending how "mv" is implemented, the "rename()"
out of the VC++ lib. does not allow to overwrite an existing
file as it is done from the "rename()" in the Unix world.
