In a previous email you mentioned that MacPorts' make doesn't show this problem? Does it apply any patches to make? And did you verify that your test builds with MacPorts really used their GNU make, and not the system make after all? > Since only a few packages in fink have a dependency on fink make, those could > be updated to invoke it as gmake and allow the average user to keep using the > system make unless they really want to change the default using make-default. I am not 100% comfortable with changing the behavior of the make package like this -- people who are relying on "GNU make" will be caught by surprise if the "make" package suddenly does not provide gmake under the name "make" anymore. Also, packages which depend on "make" would have to be changed at the exact same time as this change is applied (for this I'd need to know which packages are affected, though, which I don't right now... do we have an effective way to do that?) More workable would be to changes this just for 10.11, i.e. split make into a pre-10.11 version and a 10.11+ version. Since I don't have 10.11, I can't do test that myself, and I am not even sure whether 10.11 is going to use the 10.7 tree, or a fresh tree ? If it does use 10.7, I could add a make-10.11.info based on what you sent, with a revision of 1001 and "Distribution: 10.11" Cheers, Max ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor Your Dynamic Infrastructure at Any Scale With Datadog!
