    4. If you will need to run Make on machines without an FPU, you
       might consider building a version of Make which doesn't issue
       floating-point instructions (they don't help much on MSDOS
-      anyway).  To this end, invoke the configure batch file like so:
-
-			configure no-float

+      configure.bat and add -DNO_FLOAT to the value of CPPFLAGS.
 
    5. Invoke Make.
 
-   6. If you have a Unix-style shell installed, you can use the
-      `install' target.  You will also need GNU Fileutils and GNU
-      Sh-utils for this (they should be available from the DJGPP
-      sites).
+      If you are building from outside of the source directory, you
+      need to tell Make where the sources are, like this:
+
+	        make srcdir=c:/djgpp/gnu/make-3.76
+
+      (configure.bat will tell you this when it finishes).  You MUST
+      use a full, not relative, name of the source directory here, or
+      else Make might fail.
+
+   6. After Make finishes, if you have a Unix-style shell installed,
+      you can use the `install' target to install the package.  You
+      will also need GNU Fileutils and GNU Sh-utils for this (they
+      should be available from the DJGPP sites).
+
+      Without a Unix-style shell, you will have to install programs
+      and the docs manually.  Copy make.exe to a directory on your
+      PATH, make.i* info files to your Info directory, and update the
+      file `dir' in your Info directory by adding the following item
+      to the main menu:
+
+	* GNU make: (make.info).           The GNU make utility.
+
+      If you have the `install-info' program (from the GNU Texinfo
+      package), it will do that for you if you invoke it like this:
+
+	install-info --info-dir=c:/djgpp/info c:/djgpp/info/make.info
+
+      (If your Info directory is other than C:\DJGPP\INFO, change this
+      command accordingly.)
