'gmake' does not compile in case you use 'smake' ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/smake/alpha/
The reason is that GNU make comes with two files: SMakefile & glob/SMakefile that contain no valid 'make' syntax. GNU make first looks for the following files: "GNUmakefile", "Makefile", "SMakefile", smake does a similar thing and looks for: "SMakefile", "Makefile", "makefile", smake uses this method in order to be able to bootstrap a smake compilation with a "dumb" make program. /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ Expected fix for this problem: Remove SMalefile & glob/SMakefile from the gmake source distribution. /*--------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ Jörg -- EMail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin [EMAIL PROTECTED] (uni) [EMAIL PROTECTED] (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/old/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
