I can use pmake if that's a better base. > Note that trying to write non-trivial code that is portable between > GNU make and BSD make is virtually impossible because they have > different conditional and include language. > I have noticed. In terms of spkg using a custom made makefile like eclib, for which sage is technically upstream, that means some conditional logic is ported in spkg-install. IIRC gnu make can use old style include that are compatible. I don't know if there is a plan to phase out those. > On 2010-Jan-24 11:00:39 +1300, François Bissey <[email protected]> wrote: > >Of course I could actually get an actual freebsd machine - joy. > > What is stopping you?

I could technically dual boot my home machine but I am cramped on disk space (I am overdue for a new machine really). I guess I could try to scavenge an old machine at the uni, although my office is already full, thinking..... I may know where to find an "old" G5 if that's suitable.
