Its the OpenGroup's DCE( used as RPC). The source code is available , but we are not able to compile it with either AIX's make utility or gmake. The syntax corresponds to BSD's make. Will try getting the make utility from the URL? Is there any other make utility. I am not sure if bmake is the exact utility we require. The makefile has macros as -- > .if define ---> .if exists and all the statements start with .. GMAKE or AIX make throws errors with this make file. Will bmake be the right make utility to for above type of source code?

We require the make utility of BSD to compile few source programs? Are you SURE you need BSD Make? If so why? Secondly,.... it is available from http://www.crufty.net/help/sjg/bmake.html Very simple install instructions on that page too. Is there any make utility compatible with AIX? Could you please give us the URL where we can get the same? Yes LOTS,... bmake/nmake/gnu make/etc. etc. etc. All Make commands are not made alike.... you need to use the one that suits the syntax of the makefile in question. Judging from the Q that was asked... if the software you want to compile is OpenSource look into NetBSD's Pkgsrc system.... =====-----=====-----===== Notice: The information contained in this e-mail message and/or attachments to it may contain confidential or privileged information.
