What is the best place to get it? I tried
www.freshports.org/devel/gmake/

But I got confused as there are too many links and its not clear what
exactly to do, to get it installed on my freebsd machine. I am
relatively a newbie so please help

Thanks a lot for your response
Mohammad Shaikh

It is probably using make constructs that are specific to GNU make.
If you haven't already done so, install the devel/gmake port and try
using 'gmake' instead of 'make'.
