+Remember to use a hefty wad of stack (I use 2000000)
- In the file 'makedepend' there are three spots like this `$cat ...`:
- a for loop near line 75, an egrep near line 161, and a for loop near
- line 175. In all those spots using an editor change the $cat to
- /bin/cat.

-now type make depend

- When the make depend has ended load the gnumakefile into
- an editor and go to the end of the file.
-
- Move upwards in the file until you reach av.o: EXTERN.h
- and delete all lines down to # WARNING: Put....
