Strictly technically speaking the whichever "make" program should set the environment variable $MAKE. But not all of them do that, so the safest thing to do is to explicitly set MAKE in your environment (to whichever make you are using). When dealing with ./configure and the auto* thingies build systems, the safest make variety to use is GNU make. ./configure scripts usually check if $MAKE is set. Freetype's ./configure won't even allow you to run it if $MAKE is not set to point to GNU make, for example. --Stefan -- Stefan Teleman KDE e.V. stefan.teleman at gmail.com
