Er, you're using FreeBSD make(1) when you should be using GNU gmake? There is a FreeBSD Port for this software in devel/git, and even if you don't want to use it, the Makefiles and patches usually provide a good guide to modifications that you may need to make to get it to work on FreeBSD. ___ 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
