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. + +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.) + +See the file NEWS for what has changed since previous releases. + +GNU Make is fully documented in make.texinfo. See the section entitled +`Problems and Bugs' for information on submitting bug reports. + +GNU Make is free software. See the file COPYING for copying conditions. |
