It migth theoretically be +possible to cram the Makefiles so that they can work with a large set +of Make programs. However, doing so will not be cost effective. GNU +Make has been ported to virtually any system current OpenAxiom can build +one. In particular, OpenAxiom uses GCL, which in turns requires GCC. +GCC requires GNU Make. GCL too requires GNU Make. Consequently, +the GNU Make requirement is not a stringent requirement. It just +reflects reality. + +So, if you're using a system where "make" is not GNU Make, then try +"gmake" instead. + +Send comments and suggestions to open-axiom-devel@lists.sf.net + +Gabriel Dos Reis |
