Hi
Is there any BSD make versions available for AIX platform?
We require the make utility of BSD to compile few source programs.
Is there any make utility compatible with AIX? Could you please give us
the URL where we can get the same?
FreeBSD's make is an integral part of the FreeBSD file system. It is not
created to be compatible across systems, but it is also not created to
prevent this kind of porting.
Wow. I disagree. It's been modified over the years to depend heavily on a set
of libraries that are available nowhere else but FreeBSD. This was done (from
what I can see) in the name of elegance ... because the actual functions ARE
available elsewhere, but a bunch of modifications need to be added, no possible
way is it going to compile anywhere else.
I ported it a few years ago to Linux, so I know it can be moved, but it's not a
trivial job. Too bad, because it's a fine tool, and all those mods added no
functionality that I can see.
