This directory contains the %VERSION% test release of GNU Make.
|
1989-08-13 07:28:15 +00:00
|
|
|
All bugs reported for previous test releases have been fixed.
|
1992-06-26 00:52:43 +00:00
|
|
|
Some bugs surely remain.

For general building and installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.
|
|
|
|
|
If you need to build GNU Make and have no other `make' program to use,
|
|
|
|
|
you can use the shell script `build.sh' instead. To do this, first run
|
|
|
|
|
`configure' as described in INSTALL. Then, instead of typing `make' to
|
|
|
|
|
build the program, type `sh build.sh'. This should compile the program
|
|
|
|
|
in the current directory. Then you will have a Make program that you can
|
|
|
|
|
use for `make install', or whatever else.

Some systems' Make programs are broken and cannot process the Makefile for
|
|
|
|
|
GNU Make. If you get errors from your system's Make when building GNU
|
|
|
|
|
Make, try using `build.sh' instead.

It has been reported that the XLC 1.2 compiler on AIX 3.2 is buggy such
|
|
|
|
|
that if you compile make with `cc -O' on AIX 3.2, it will not work correctly.
|
|
|
|
|
It is said that using `cc' without `-O' does work.

|
One area that is often a problem in configuration and porting is the code
|
|
|
|
|
to check the system's current load average. To make it easier to test and
|
|
|
|
|
debug this code, you can do `make check-loadavg' to see if it works
|
|
|
|
|
properly on your system. (You must run `configure' beforehand, but you
|
|
|
|
|
need not build Make itself to run this test.)
