I'm confused which make is the POSIX one. I have bmake on my linux boxes to handle the BSDisms, because it has features that are useful and not POSIX. If you don't like gmake, I get it.
But let's not pretend there's a commonly used make that only observes POSIX, I think the ones I've seen {b,g,n}make, makeapp and are mostly POSIX but non quite.
- legulere 12y agoThere is no POSIX make, POSIX is just a standard. What I mean is that you should only use features outlined in said standard. This allows you to use your makefiles on all makes that are POSIX conform. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/make.html http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/ma...
