The way apple builds Darwin is sometimes a marvel to behold. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Raphaël Londeix Sent: Friday, January 9, 2015 9:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Tinycc-devel] README needs fixing?
IMHO, this should be: "Note: This Makefile is only compatible with GNU make" The binary can have arbitrary names, although I'm surprised that gmake is not also present when make actually is gnu make ...

Or even better: Note: if "make --version" does not say "GNU Make" then use gmake instead. ... It would have saved me a few hours of precious wasted time. _______________________________________________ Tinycc-devel mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tinycc-devel -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
