Gene: Sigh. The author of the relevant webpage posted without checking his work, something I would never...well, hardly ever...well, at least not always...do:-) This Makefile is not for making the code, it's for transferring all his files to another computer named "phk" using ssh; pretty much useless to all but him. One could probably piece together pretty quickly a workable Makefile by inspection, but I'll leave that exercise to the interested student.
