"makedev" is the same "makedev" that comes with ditroff.  You just need
to make sure that the executable for makedev is on your path somewhere
before trying to install dipress.  The source is in the "troff" directory
of the ditroff distribution (at least in our version that's where it is).

Disclaimer:  it's been a few years since I did anything with dipress, and
others may have made changes of which I am unaware.
