Is automake specifically what you're trying to build, or are the other questions relevant as well? This is relevant because it sounds as though you are not trying to use the FreeBSD ports (or pkg; they're really the same thing in terms of what gets installed) system. That's the usual way such a thing would be done, and the exceptions are almost entirely people who would be able to answer such questions for themselves. > It is my understanding the FreeBSD-10 switched to a different 'make' (bmake?), which could be the reason for these differences - but I do not know how to fix them. Gnu Make has never been standard on BSD. Most variations of make programs understand slightly different makefile syntax, so they generally don't run each other's makefiles.
