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. -r -- -- Rich Morin: rdm@cfcl.com, +1 650-873-7841, http://www.cfcl.com/rdm Prime Time Freeware: info@ptf.com, +1 408-433-9662, http://www.ptf.com MacPerl: http://www.macperl.com, http://www.ptf.com/ptf/products/MPPE MkLinux: http://www.mklinux.org, http://www.ptf.com/ptf/products/MKLP To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
