POSIX Makefile or separate BSD Makefile

Question

POSIX Makefile or separate BSD Makefile

antranigv opened this issue 7 years ago · 3 comments

as someone who runs voc on FreeBSD, I have a huge issue that I must have gmake in order to compile it. I might suggest two things.

either 1) port current GNU Makefile to POSIX Makefile or 2) write a separate BSD Makefile (Makefile.bsd?) with BSD Make syntax. This will also make porting voc to *BSD ports easier.

what do you guys think?

It is supposed to work fine with BSD's make. I spent a lot of time making the makefile work on both GNU and BSD make!
Indeed it builds fine on my test machines.

Hi Antranig, did you get anywhere with this? Have you been able to build on FreeBSD without gmake?

sorry for my late reply.
due to some special configuration on my own system, this was a mistake, it's working amazing on a base FreeBSD system without any external makes or compilers.

Thanks a lot for understanding!
