Oops, yes, I stand corrected; answered from memory without checking
docs. I also hadn't noticed that he was running 'make makefile' instead
of plain 'make'.

Kabir, if you want to specify the makefile to use then you should type
'make -f <makefile name>'. It will automatically search a number of
filenames to use as the makefile including 'makefile' and 'Makefile' if
you don't specify -f.
