Thanks, Navneet Linux Distributions normally have GNU-Make installed as make. GNU-Make ist what you're running if you run gmake under FreeBSD. If you run make on FreeBSD you're running a variant of pmake, which has an entirely different syntax from GNU-Make. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

BSD-make (i.e., make) is a completely different beast from GNU-make (i.e., gmake). Generally, Makefiles written for one (except for very simple ones) won't run under the other, and vice-versa. man make should get you started on the BSD-make syntax and its featureset. -- Heiko Wundram Product & Application Development ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Linux uses GNU's make. BSD has it's own version. "gmake" is the command of GNU make for bsd. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
