Simple I know, but could use some help compiling with make

Thanks so much guys, it worked, although it looks like a mutated 
wildebeest.  For the interested:

IMPORT = -IC:\Dlang\dmd2\src\ext\Derelict2\import
LIB_PATHS = -L+C:\Dlang\dmd2\src\ext\Derelict2\lib\\

LIB_INCLUDES = DerelictSDL.lib DerelictGL.lib DerelictUtil.lib 
DerelictGLU.lib

all:
	dmd src/main.d src/display.d src/renderdata.d src/vector2d.d $(IMPORT) 
$(LIB_PATHS) $(LIB_INCLUDES)

Yes, that is TWO backslashes and the empty line between paths and 
includes is required. Could probably fix it but couldn't figure out how 
to escape the backslash (to prevent it from escaping the newline).
