No, make is a general-purpose tool that can do and does several jobs
depending on the code in the Makefile. In nfbtrans specifically make
lowercase only does part of the dos to unix conversion job. The unzip
utility on linux has command line switches to do the job more
thoroughly. Had I used the switches in unzip I would not only have had
everything lowercase those ^m at the ends of lines would also be gone.
Probably the best way to describe make is that make is a tool for
managing groups of files.

I'm not sure of the implications of this thread is.
Is Make a tool for turning programs that are written for Windows, for
example, into programs for Linux?
Thanks for any info.

Okay, termcap is a lib in Makefile and once termcap package got
installed from the aur repository nfbtrans compiled with warnings but
nonetheless created an executable.

command gets an error about varying definitions of "getline"
Indeed, that's now a standard function. What you can do is to add this
line:
#define getline mygetline
just before the line containing the first ocurrence of getline.
