On Linux systems, there is no base system 'make', so GNU make is installed as 'make'. On FreeBSD systems, there is a base system make that is maintained by the FreeBSD project, so GNU make is installed as 'gmake'. The main differences in making with them is that GNU make and FreeBSD make accept different arguments, and their makefile syntaxes have discrepancies. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
