Perhaps you could contact the authors of the code you are trying to
compile and ask them how they did it. They might have a
straightforward solution and maybe a reason as to why they chose BSD
make

Also, have you tried bmake?

FreeBSD's make is an integral part of the FreeBSD file system. It is not

prevent this kind of porting.


Wow. I disagree. It's been modified over the years to depend heavily on
a set of libraries that are available nowhere else but FreeBSD. This was


The fact that it can be compiled with "gcc '-DDEFSHELLNAME="sh"' -o make 
*.c" indicates that it in fact doesn't use any libraries except for libc...



done (from what I can see) in the name of elegance ... because the
actual functions ARE available elsewhere, but a bunch of modifications
need to be added, no possible way is it going to compile anywhere else.


Oh you're exaggerating, it's not that hard. I've made the attached patch 
in about 20 minutes, and most of it is including the small "lc.h" ad-hoc 
Linux compatibility header.


I don't claim the patched make will work perfectly but it works for 
simple cases :)

I ported it a few years ago to Linux, so I know it can be moved, but it's not a 
trivial job.  Too bad, because it's a fine tool, and all those mods added no 
functionality that I can see.

FreeBSD's make is an integral part of the FreeBSD file system. It is not
created to be compatible across systems, but it is also not created to
prevent this kind of porting.

With a command like:

svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.bin/make

you can fetch the sources for the BSD make. If you have a gcc compiler
installed you can compile the BSD make with a command like:

gcc '-DDEFSHELLNAME="sh"' -o make *.c

Note that the Makefile included with BSD make is in BSD make format so
you need to bootstrap it like in the above command; the quotes around -D
are needed.

There is absolutely no guarantee this will work on your system.

You could try this:

http://www.crufty.net/help/sjg/bmake.html

but I just found that after 2 seconds of searching with google and I
have no idea if it works under AIX or not.

There'd be no problem if someone wanted to take the BSD make sources and
port them to AIX, but AFAIK, no one has ever wanted to do that, or at
least, has never owned up to doing that in public that I've ever heard of.

Cheers,

Matthew

Re: Need bsd make for AIX

2010-09-16 Thread srividya . k
We have some open source code for RPC calls - DCE that has c programs and 
corresponding makefiles.
When we tried gmake or make ( AIX make) , we were getting syntax errors.
We found that all the makefiles had syntax that corresponds to makeutility 
of BSD?

Do you have any alternative?
Is there any BSD make utility that can be installed in AIX machine?
