Aha! I found the answer. Even though the Makefile had mentioned .EXE files, as I described above, it really was constructing things for Linux.

In addition, the Makefile wanted to use a command that I couldn't find, at first: pp.

After a lot of digging around, I found out what pp was and, after many more gyrations, managed to install PAR::Packer through CPAN.

Once that was there, when I tried "make lm" from the command line, it DID make lit2mobi.exe successfully, and it WAS a Linux binary.

By moving that to /usr/local/bin and renaming it to "lit2mobi" I was able to get it to work the way one would usually expect in a UNIX environment.

Thanks, again, for your help, pilotbob!
