This doesn't actually seem to be the problem, unless I've got a different 
problem to everyone else :-)

My error message reads 

"cppmake.c", line 1167: unbalanced parenthesis
"cppmake.c", line 1218: unterminated macro call
"cppmake.c", line 1218: (warning) argument mismatch, F1V
"cppmake.c", line 1221: , deleted
"cppmake.c", line 1222: (warning) old-fashioned initialization, insert =
"cppmake.c", line 1222: q undefined
"cppmake.c", line 1226: identifier missing
"cppmake.c", line 1226: * applied to non-pointer (function)
"cppmake.c", line 1226: operator * on non-numerical operand (pointer)
"cppmake.c", line 1226: identifier missing
"cppmake.c", line 1226: operator * on non-numerical operand (pointer)
"cppmake.c", line 1226: (warning) etc ...
make: Error code 256

A look at line 1167 shows 

void appendarg F1V(PROCESS *, p,

this either wins first prize in an obfuscated C contest, or cppmake.c has been
mangled in transmission.  Trying crc gives

10928  32592 cppmake.c

Is this correct ??
