Yours is not attached. However, you could get the original back, and then
just remove instances of "68K" and "PPC". Leave in all instances of "SC"
and "MrC".

The "all" target is in the Makefile.mk file, usually. For more info on
dmake syntax, see the "dmake.nc" file in the dmake distribution.

Hehe. Seriously, I don't know that this stuff is that important. I think
you just need to start over with the original MacPerlConfig.mk file and
remove 68K and PPC from it, and try to build again.
Good luck,
