It's not a "winzip-file", it's a zip file.  Winzip is not the entity
defining that file format.

Which file did it complain about, in particular.  Please show the actual
message, if remotely possible.  Even if it's in Norwegian, it'll probably
be more useful than an abridged version.

Your message is possibly garbled a bit, but anyway: you should make sure
that the command line really is

	make -C src -f ../config/makefile.mgw

(i.e.: *no* blank between the two dots.)

Of course there isn't --- make is a program you're supposed to have 
installed as part of your C compiler.

Are you sure you really need to build your own gnuplot rather than
just install the binary version?
