I am running FreeBSD 4.1, in a reasonably vanilla installation.
The make(1) man page suggests that I SEE ALSO "PMake - A Tutorial".
Sure, boss, but where might that be?
* There is no man page for "pmake".
* Running locate on pmake or PMake yields nothing except the
.../ports/devel/pmake directory.
* http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ doesn't list a PMake tutorial
and I don't see it (as far as I was willing to step along :-/)
in "A User's Guide to FreeBSD Programming Tools".
So, where is this beastie? In desperation, I tried going to the
ports/devel/pmake directory and doing a make. Looking in the doc
directory, I managed to find a file named tutorial.psc; printing
it, I found that I had the desired tutorial.
I'm not telling you folks about all this _just_ to let you know how
clueless I am; many of you already know that (:-). Really, I'm
saying that other users might be just as clueless (or even more so)
and might find it useful to have a more descriptive reference to use.
