FreeBSD's make is the BSD 4.4 make. The GNU make has many major differences, including a lot of thing I personally think they made different just because they could. I always get steamed at folks who toss in incompatibilities for no good reason. Nothing will work until you replace the make. You're running 3.4? Mail me at work tomorrow, at chuckr@torrentnet.com, I have a 3.4 machine there, I'll mail you back the original 3.4 make. Let the port do what it wants to do, which is to install the GNU make as gmake. Tip? Next time you feel like experimenting and replacing some part of the main system, rename the original file as file.orig, so if it breaks things, you can fix it. > > Regards, > Alex.
