Since there seems to be so much interest in running FreeBSD make(1) on other platforms, I've committed what I have done so far to . It's not a full port of FreeBSD make(1) yet, but anyone interested to help is invited to hop in and give me a hand :) The main goal of this `project' is to have a fully buildable version of FreeBSD make(1) on Linux and Solaris, so that one can build FreeBSD-like makefiles by running: /usr/local/bin/bmake [ -f BSDmakefile ]
