The command

  % testit 2 parsley

runs the script Hwk2/test.parsley on the files that you
submitted for Homework #2.  That script runs

  % make parsley

to create the executable, not

  % make

(which makes the first target in the makefile).  Thus if
testit works, your makefile should be fine.

As noted above, the script makes parsley.
