Thread: make vs. gmake
FYI, our source code build docs suggest 'gmake' in a number of places while 'make' would be used on other platforms. Should we change these to just say 'make'? I think we suggested 'gmake' in the past because of FreeBSD having BSD 'make' and requring GNU make. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. +

FYI, I am going to change 'gmake' mentions in the docs to 'make', as I think it meets the need of most of our users/developers. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + Everyone has their own god. +
