Dear GCC Curator;

	I have recently installed a copy of GCC 2_233 on my system. I have looked through all the documentation files and have had some problems. Most of my problems are with 'make'. 

	I can execute speed and all the system displays messages that all the pieces load in and unload ok. (using Speed). Continuing with the sample programs, nothing seems to work. With sample1, I can compile the program if I invoke the compiler on the command line. i.e. gcc sample1.c -o sample1.exe. The program compiles and works just fine. I have tried other multi-module programs, and they compile and work fine. This is where everything comes to a halt.

	I have tried using 'make' to do the exact same things and it comes back with messages like:
		no way to make sample1.exe
		nothing  to do to sample1.exe       (sample1.exe does not exist)
		no target specified and no makefile found    ( named makefile. )

As the documentation suggests, I am observing a tab character as the start of a command line for a rule. And I am starting the target line a the first character position.


The next problem ignoring 'make' and trying to create sample2 via the command line, returns an error message that the 'filename is too long'. 

		d:\gnu\gnu\gccincl\iostream.h

Is there a work-around for this problem? I noticed in the features list of corrected problems, that directory length was a former limitation.


				Thanks ahead of time
