I find on bsd when I type make and it spews out many screenfulls of syntax errors before performing any work, then I type "gmake" as a next step. Not challenging.
- zingermc 7y agoThere are some GNU Makefiles that invoke `make` manually instead of `$(MAKE)`. On FreeBSD, where `make` is bmake, this is a pain in the ass.
- asveikau 7y agoI agree that would be bad, but I haven't personally seen a lot of that. Increasing awareness of the $(MAKE) variable I guess would be the solution. Of course the "recursive make considered harmful" paper also articulates pretty well why such a usage may have its own problems. http://aegis.sourceforge.net/auug97.pdf http://aegis.sourceforge.net/auug97.pdf
