Trouble installing "make"

[John Heath]

Hi

I am learning C and using DJGPP under MSDOS.

DJGPP works fine and for me and I am trying to progress to using "make".

 

I read the introductory tutorials for make (but these dont cover download).

 

From ftp:\\ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/make/  I chose to download "make-3.79.tar.gz"

which with short DOS name became "make-3~1.gz".

To unzip this I used "   gzip -d -N make-3~1.gz   " which decompressed

producing a single file which seems to contain lots of different objects

including makefiles and c-source code

 

1. How do you separate these objects?

and

2. How do you compile "make" from these when you dont have "make" already?

or

3. Can you download "make" as an executable?

 

Sorry to bug you with this simple problem but the helps, faqs etc are all at a much higher level.
