Building Metafont

[Michael Grenier]

Hello World, 
   I need help! I've managed to get TeX up and running producing
pretty good output on my Epson LQ800 under Microport V/386 
(which when combined with ditdvi recently posted makes a great way
 to troff to bit mapped printers!)

Anyway, I would like to generate a full set of Computer Modern fonts
at 180dpi and am having trouble getting Metafont with web2c to convert
the Pascal version of metafont (mf.p after conversion from tangle) to C.
I'm building Metafont version 1.2 using Web2C version 2.21 (which
I just grabbed from june.cs.washington.edu). Is there a version problem?
I didn't see any of the syntax errors that web2c (the ./convert script)
is complaining about.

I'll give the make's response below. Thanks for your help,
