It merely 'drives' other tools to create them. So if a makefile calls 'gcc' to compile something and there is a native 'gcc' version in your local system, a properly written makefile should still work. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

No, gmake can make binaries that work on freebsd. For example, the Atheme IRC services require gmake, not make on freebsd (at least, last I checked). It's just a difference in the format of the Makefile. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

No. Broadly speaking ports that build from source install native binaries, and binaries that use the linux ABI are installed by the port from linux binary packages. Ok, thanks guys. The clears up that question for me, but I'm still about as clear as mud on what I'm trying to achieve :) I am determined to succeed though... it won't beat me! ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

gmake format
You'll have to excuse my ignorance (and my curious mind...), but I can't seem to find a straight answer to this. I know linux uses gmake, and gmake is installed via ports on FreeBSD, but does that mean gmake will only create linux binaries using the abi compatibility? Is it possible to translate the Makefile to use make instead and build as a native binary instead? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
