The CVS sources are not intended or designed to be built on non-UNIX systems. If they do work, that is just a happy accident. I do not check in to CVS all the files generated by the various auto* tools (autoconf, automake, gettext), so you must have the right versions of those installed, plus Perl, GNU m4, etc. before you can build GNU make from CVS. Most likely this will require a full UNIX system, but it's possible that all these tools would work on a Windows box--I don't know, because I don't have one. You should read the README.cvs file for information on how to build GNU make as checked out directly from CVS. There is no mention of this in the INSTALL, etc. files because when the GNU make package (tar) is distributed, this file (and some others needed only during package creation) are not provided. Also, right now GNU make needs a beta version of gettext; I'm hoping that the official gettext 0.11.3 will be out before too long. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
