Re: What make is in 7.1?

2009-05-08 Thread ill...@gmail.com
2009/5/6 Lars Eighner luvbeas...@larseighner.com:

 When I do man make I get a man page and it includes references to
 the pmake tutorial which seems to be basis of an HTMLize pmake
 tutorial in one of the books.

 But clearly the installed make is not the pmake described in the tutorial.
 The tutorial frequently suggest using Pmake -h for more details about
 particular points.  But in 7.1 make -h results in an illegal option message.
 There is no pmake or Pmake.  There is a pmake port but it won't build in
 7.1.

 So it seems I have a lot of documentation for pmake, which clearly I don't
 have and can't get.  Where is the documentation for the make I do have?


Have you tried
% man /usr/share/man/man1/make.1.gz
?

% man -d make
. . .
searching in /usr/share/man
trying section 1 with globbing
globbing /usr/share/man/man1/make.1*
found ultimate source file /usr/share/man/man1/make.1.gz
to_name in convert_name () is: /usr/share/man/cat1/make.1.gz
will try to write /usr/share/man/cat1/make.1.gz if needed
. . .
