GNU make ( was Re: gump.zones.apache.org )

["Adam R. B. Jack" <aj...@apache.org>]

Bill, you asked about GNU make on Solaris. According to [1] it is called
'gmake', and (FWIIW) gmake happens to be on the path. Anybody have thoughts
on if we ought (1) always use gmake not make on solaris, (2) make it
configurable somehow (2) do a hack on this box? Preferences?

regards

Adam

Solaris make is so quirky.  I try and avoid it whenever possible.  Pretty 
much only use it to build GNU make ;-).

I'd vote (non-binding :) for (3).  Just symlink make to gmake.  It might 
also help the mysterious failure of the apr-make project.

Seems like over-kill.  In this case you'd have to do the same hack for Linux 
boxes (where it is called 'make').  Of course, there is a whole other issue 
if Gump ever goes onto a Windows box (where MS calles it 'nmake').

Commons-daemon-native turned out to be easy enough to fix so it runs on 
Solaris make as well.  It should start building next cycle.

I think we should have a <gmake/>.

I also think its best for the world if package maintainers try and make
sure their packages build with other versions of make.

cheers,

I wouldn't restrict that to Solaris, it may very well apply to AIX or
some BSDs as well.  On MacOS X it would be gnumake, not gmake - but at
least on my 10.3 box, make is GNU make.

Some Linux distros have gmake as an alias for make.

Probably yes.
