  This would probably be better in comp.unix.questions rather than in
comp.sources.games.bugs, since it is a general question about Makefiles and
not a specific question about any particular game.

  In any case, you don't execute Makefiles.  They are not programs.  You use
the "make" program to build programs based on what's in the Makefile.  A
Makefile is a configuration file for the "make" program.  See the man page for
"make" for more information.
