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. + + +GNU Make is free software. See the file COPYING for copying conditions. +GNU Make is copyright by the Free Software Foundation. Copyright notices +condense sequential years into a range; e.g. "1987-1994" means all years +from 1987 to 1994 inclusive. + +Downloading +----------- + +GNU Make can be obtained in many different ways. See a description here: + + http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html + + +Documentation +------------- + +GNU make is fully documented in the GNU Make manual, which is contained +in this distribution as the file make.texinfo. You can also find +on-line and preformatted (PostScript and DVI) versions at the FSF's web +site. There is information there about ordering hardcopy documentation. + + http://www.gnu.org/ + http://www.gnu.org/doc/doc.html + http://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.html + + +Development +----------- + +GNU Make development is hosted by Savannah, the FSF's online development +management tool. Savannah is here: + + http://savannah.gnu.org + +And the GNU Make development page is here: + + http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/make/ + +You can find most information concerning the development of GNU Make at +this site. + + +Bug Reporting +------------- + +You can send GNU make bug reports to . Please see the +section of the GNU make manual entitled 'Problems and Bugs' for +information on submitting useful and complete bug reports. + +You can also use the online bug tracking system in the Savannah GNU Make +project to submit new problem reports or search for existing ones: + + http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=make + +If you need help using GNU make, try these forums: + + help-make@gnu.org + help-utils@gnu.org + news:gnu.utils.help + news:gnu.utils.bug + + +Git Access +---------- + +The GNU make source repository is available via Git from the +GNU Savannah Git server; look here for details: + + http://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=make + +Please note: you won't be able to build GNU make from Git without +installing appropriate maintainer's tools, such as GNU m4, automake, +autoconf, Perl, GNU make, and GCC. See the README.git file for hints on +how to build GNU make once these tools are available. We make no +guarantees about the contents or quality of the latest code in the Git +repository: it is not unheard of for code that is known to be broken to +be checked in. Use at your own risk. + + +System-specific Notes +--------------------- + +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. + +The standard /bin/sh on SunOS 4.1.3_U1 and 4.1.4 is broken and cannot be +used to configure GNU make. Please install a different shell such as +bash or pdksh in order to run "configure". See this message for more +information: + http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2003-10/msg00190.html + +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.) + +Another potential source of porting problems is the support for large +files (LFS) in configure for those operating systems that provide it. +Please report any bugs that you find in this area. If you run into +difficulties, then as a workaround you should be able to disable LFS by +adding the '--disable-largefile' option to the 'configure' script. + +On systems that support micro- and nano-second timestamp values and +where stat(2) provides this information, GNU make will use it when +comparing timestamps to get the most accurate possible result. However, +note that many current implementations of tools that *set* timestamps do +not preserve micro- or nano-second granularity. This means that "cp -p" +and other similar tools (tar, etc.) may not exactly duplicate timestamps +with micro- and nano-second granularity on some systems. If your build +system contains rules that depend on proper behavior of tools like "cp +-p", you should consider using the .LOW_RESOLUTION_TIME pseudo-target to +force make to treat them properly. See the manual for details. + + +Ports +----- + + - See README.customs for details on integrating GNU make with the + Customs distributed build environment from the Pmake distribution. + + - See README.VMS for details about GNU Make on OpenVMS. + + - See README.Amiga for details about GNU Make on AmigaDOS. + + - See README.W32 for details about GNU Make on Windows NT, 95, or 98. + + - See README.DOS for compilation instructions on MS-DOS and MS-Windows + using DJGPP tools. + + A precompiled binary of the MSDOS port of GNU Make is available as part + of DJGPP; see the WWW page http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ for more + information. + +Please note there are two _separate_ ports of GNU make for Microsoft +systems: a native Windows tool built with (for example) MSVC or Cygwin, +and a DOS-based tool built with DJGPP.
