Well, there's a residual desire that the makes should be compatible, but various changes over the years haven't been co-ordinated. In 1996 FreeBSD and NetBSD had the same make, for example, and more recently (well, last summer) the OpenPackages crowd were trying to produce a merged version which ended up mostly following the OpenBSD (heavily refactored) version. The NetBSD make seems to be the most consistently maintained one. The whole situation is rather crap. Tony. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
