Thx, james, I see the difference now:
$ make cprog
make: *** No rule to make target `cprog'. Stop.

This is the linux side. The windows side was much more interesting, but 
I failed to capture output. Since github is such a widely-used resource 
for promoting open source projects held together by the glue of C, I'm 
gonna still claim relevance to this newsgroup until I get a few things 
ironed out. I'm happy to follow suggestions to better places to talk 
about this.  For example email list discussion, never done that before....

I can always make it happen with actual keystrokes, if my compiler is 
listening. What if I can't tap the keys to make that happen?

I worked through the K&R 2 material whilst on a windows machine. Dan Pop 
was one of the better reads in c.l.c. back then. He encouraged me to 
make myself as comfortable in my development environment as I could.

When the divisions that would segregate the internet blew through clc, I 
retreated to fortran, the language of my instruction. Nothing in a 
fortran module gets off the ground without a C binding. I watched as the 
languages defined that coupling, which was awesome, and now I want to 
gain access to fortran programs by means of C. C is to be the caller, 
but it has to be informed about where it is.

$ perl config4.pl
signal #17 = CHLD
SIGALRM is 14
$

Is SIGALRM something defined in the contemporary C standard?
