If you have the "doc" package set installed, look in: /usr/share/doc/psd/12.make If not, the same documents are available as part of the online FreeBSD documentation set: http://docs.FreeBSD.org/ This is not a comparison of GNU make and BSD make. It's just a guide for BSD make. I believe it's a guide that is better than trying to decipher the makefiles of the src/ tree. AFAIK, the latter tend to depend on a lot of features of the src/share/mk/* stuff, which are not necessarily available and do not work exactly the same with all versions of BSD make out there.
