Hi Alfred, If you wanted proof, you shouldn't have removed comp.unix.solaris from your reply. Joerg Schilling is the famed author of cdrecord, star (a back up tool better than tar), and is the creator of the first OpenSolaris distro Schillix. Your GNU/Linux system wouldn't be able to burn CD-Rs without his cdrecord software. If Joerg Schilling says gmake has bugs preventing it from being POSIX compliant, it is true. Joerg has himself stated he has over 25 years of UNIX development experience. And his vast contributions to the software world back up that claim. The fact that you snipped comp.unix.solaris from your reply proves that you have your head in the proverbial sand and would like not to have your "GNU" world disrupted by things like "facts" among them being that gmake is not POSIX compliant. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
