I believe the BSD make to be a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, it's also very different. We have a fairly large code project we want to compile on FreeBSD, but it has literally hundreds of makefiles that have been being used on SysVr4. The tutorial documentation for make shipped with the system refers to two compatability mode switches (-B and -M). The first one causes each command associated with a target to be run in its own shell. The second one says, "This is the flag that provides absolute, complete, full compatibility with Make." Sounds like what I want. However, the make man page doesn't list that option and the code doesn't support it. I installed the gmake-3.75 package. When I tried to use it, it complained about not finding /usr/local/bin/gname. Is that a ports issue? Does the package have a dependency I missed? What do we do for a SysVish make? -crl -- Chad R.
