make: *** [do-all] Error 1

This the error message and the last two commands.
Is a linker problem.
I found a workarond.
After this error do the following:
1. cd /to/gpm/root
2. gcc -I/tmp/gpm-1.20.1/src -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -include headers/config.h -W=
all
-DSYSCONFDIR=3D"\"/usr/etc\"" -DSBINDIR=3D"\"/usr/sbin\""  -g -O2  -c -o =
prog/mouse-test.o
prog/mouse-test.c

      no changes here simply compile mouse-test.c

3. gcc -L/tmp/gpm-1.20.1/src  -o prog/mouse-test prog/mouse-test.o mice.o=

twiddler.o synaptics.o alps.o lib/libgpm.so lib/libgpm.a
       here is the workaround - try to link mouse-test.o but fails cause
      
       can't find functions in alps.o so you just need to add alps.o
4. make (to finish the process)

The question is: how can I tell to Makefile to use alps.o during the link=

step?

Thanks for your help
