The Berkeley make seems to try being as compatible as : possible with pmake (judging from the comments in the source). It's not the Berkeley-isms in the Makefiles, it's various FreeBSD-isms in the build. Things like sys_errlist, sys_siglist, etc being defined in header files. And 'ar' forcing the use of - before the command, unlike previous versions of ar. Just a lot of piddly cr*p like that. Not hard to fix; just bothersome. -- Carl Harris EXECUTIVE Scapegoat (and Systems Engineer) Department of Computer Science, Virginia Tech ceharris@cs.vt.edu
