I can see that gmake is gnu's version of make, is FreeBSD's gmake the same as linux's make? > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" On Linux systems, there is no base system 'make', so GNU make is installed as 'make'. On FreeBSD systems, there is a base system make that is maintained by the FreeBSD project, so GNU make is installed as 'gmake'. The main differences in making with them is that GNU make and FreeBSD make accept different arguments, and their makefile syntaxes have discrepancies.
