Solaris make is so quirky. I try and avoid it whenever possible. Pretty much only use it to build GNU make ;-). I'd vote (non-binding :) for (3). Just symlink make to gmake. It might also help the mysterious failure of the apr-make project. > I think we should have a <gmake/>. > Seems like over-kill. In this case you'd have to do the same hack for Linux boxes (where it is called 'make'). Of course, there is a whole other issue if Gump ever goes onto a Windows box (where MS calles it 'nmake'). > I also think its best for the world if package maintainers try and make > sure their packages build with other versions of make. > Commons-daemon-native turned out to be easy enough to fix so it runs on Solaris make as well.
