Try
$ MMK ALL
or $ MMK TEST
instead. There is a problem with the target generation in the makefile. Tim
Bunce is aware of it, but since I have not provided him with a patch, it will
stay there until I do. ;~(
Also, I recommend you install 5.6.1 or 5.8 instead of using 5.005_03. There is
a both a precompile kit as well as a build script here:
