This list is for support of ___FreeBSD___, the operating system, although many people that _use_ FBSD actually come to this list for help on all sorts of things, but I doubt many would be eager to support a component of BSD to help with a problem in AIX. I suspect lot of them in fact, would probably feel contempt or a deep repugnance towards any sort of proprietary operating system. Second. The subject of your mail and the questions themselves are not very helpful. Perhaps if they were more technical or specific, there might be a ___BSD Make___ expert who would have some compassion to help with a problem on AIX. Of course, the subject and questions would have to be asked in a smart way. This might help: http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Thirdly. Besides structural, technical, philosophical and political reasons[1], many of which you will realize after reading the document above, you will find that is expected that you do your homework first, (i.e STFW and RTMF first, __before___ you post a question in an open source list). Just by typing "bsd make" in Google, I found this link, that will probably help you quite a bit with your problem: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-April/147533.html > Is there any make utility compatible with AIX? =A0Could you please give u= s > the URL where we can get the same? > http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/nutshell.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-hardware.= html Cheers, Alejandro Imass > > > Srividya K > Tata Consultancy Services > Mailto: srividya.k@tcs.com > Website: http://www.tcs.com > =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D-----=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D-----=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
