The resulting /usr/local/bin/make seems to do the job in PostgreSQL. I guess /usr/local/bin/make is gmake under another name. /usr/bin/make appears to be the default 'make' program I'm on an old 2.2.8 box BTW so couldn't use ports.

I'm a little confused here.
I'm trying to install PostgreSQL which uses gmake.

So I then went to the FreeBSD ports and found
gmake-3.79 which I then ftp'd -
however the ftp'd file is called make rather than gmake

See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/pds.cgi?ports/devel/gmake

I've installed it OK , but at the end of the day I get an
executable /usr/local/bin/make
which I guess I had all along.

Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome.

Dave

For the record, I think I've  worked out what is going on.

The resulting /usr/local/bin/make seems to do the job in PostgreSQL.

I guess /usr/local/bin/make is gmake under another name.

/usr/bin/make appears to be the default 'make' program

I'm on an old 2.2.8 box BTW so couldn't use ports. ( I think)
