Using C Programs
I have downloaded a set of C programs for testing the random number generator that I work with. I am not really a C programmer (as you are about to find out). I am therefore asking a stupid question which I hope you guys will have the patient to help me out.
The Instructions say:
"· Edit the makefile. Modify the following lines:
(a) CC (your ANSI C compiler)
(b) ROOTDIR (the root directory that was prescribed earlier in the process,
e.g., rng/)
· Now execute Makefile. An executable file named assess should appear in the
project directory.
· The data may now be evaluated. Type the following: assess
<sequenceLength>, e.g., assess 1000000."
Well, I have reached as far is the first bullet point (above). I am now supposed to edit the makefile. I have searched the whole directory but could not find the 'makefile'. Any help on this will be highly appreciated.
I downloaded the zip file(programs) and pdf file (doc) from here.

The doc is not quite clear (to me). Is it possible to check it for me.

Hi Paul,
Which utility did you use to print the directory tree?

Hmm, 46MB zipped source code? That's bigger than gcc...
I really wonder what they need a GUI for.

Stefan,
Under Windoze cmd prompt:
