GNU make is a perfectly working, POSIX compliant make. Version 3.81 compiles and works out of the box even on Windows. (I've only seen one package, ipf, suggesting not to use it, perhaps because of older bugs -since it works fine there too.) That said, Autoconf/Automake generated stuff should work with *any* compliant make. Thus it is just a matter of taste. GNU make supports parallel building, but obviously has no Sun-specific provisions for clusters. For ld, unfortunately there is little standardization. Even when both linkers have the same capabilities, the options have different names and possibly different syntax. The last time I compiled Courier on Solaris, changing the option names has been enough. Since Sam develops on RedHat, he doesn't have Sun's ld options at hand, but he did add them to the package when asked for. I'm not saying that will always be possible: there may be gcc-specific pragmas that produce objects that Solaris ld cannot link. OTOH the GNU linker might one day produce elfs that the Solaris loader cannot load... > All is crashing ... > Yes, of course! What else did you expect from a machine? _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
