I wanted to compile ogc for Linux first thing in the morning. Went surprisingly smoothly with a few tricks:

• the target is called ogc, not ogc.exe
• I had to remove the \r characters from each end-of-line of the usage and version text file sources
• Installation to /usr/bin works only with the magic sudo command.

Later I added install, uninstall and clean rules, and prepared the makefile to run on both Linux and cygwin, detecting Windows from the presence of the SYSTEMROOT variable.

Finally I put it under revision control with git. But that’s another story.
