https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D236620 Bug ID: 236620 Summary: Installing a /usr/bin/bmake link for make(1) Product: Base System Version: 12.0-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: arichardson@FreeBSD.org Would it be possible to install a /usr/bin/bmake link that points to /usr/bin/make? This would make it easier to write cross-platform scripts that build softwa= re that needs bmake to compile. Currently I have lots of `if FREEBSD "make" el= se "bmake"` checks in my scripts. Since make is bmake it would be nice to also install it as bmake. On MacOS and Linux bmake will generally be installed as /usr/local/bin/bmake (homebrew) or /usr/bin/bmake (Ubuntu) so if I could just invoke bmake everywhere that would be nice. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
