Yes. These two programs serve a similar purpose and you may carefully write Makefiles that use a very minimal feature set of both that happen to work on any of the two, but they are a lot different too. > Will the information in the GNU make manual be relevant? The information in the GNU make manual applies to GNU make. You can install GNU make using the ports though: % pkg_info | grep gmake gmake-3.80_2 GNU version of 'make' utility % which gmake /usr/local/bin/gmake % gmake --version GNU Make 3.80 Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
