bmake
*****
This directory contains a port of the BSD make tool (from NetBSD).
Since 1993 I have run it on AIX, BSDi, Darwin, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX,
Linux, Minix, OSF, Solaris, SunOS and even UTS.
Others have run it on many more systems.
Currently each release is tested on Darwin, NetBSD, FreeBSD and Linux.
Since 2003 bmake switched to a date based version (first was 20030714)
which generally represents the date it was last merged with NetBSD's
make. Since then, NetBSD's make is imported within a week of any
*interesting* changes, so that bmake tracks it very closely.
Building
========
The preferred way to bootstrap bmake is::
./bmake/boot-strap
there are a number of args - most of which get passed to configure,
eg.
::
./bmake/boot-strap --prefix=/opt
see the boot-strap script for details.
For folk that hate to read anything, since 20121212 you can also use
the GNU standard process of::
./configure; make; make install
This will *not* work on Darwin or any other system with a case
insensitive filesystem. It depends on a generated ``makefile`` which
is disabled by default on Darwin.
To make much use of bmake you will need the bsd.*.mk macros or my
portable *.mk macros which are included with bmake since 20121212
and separately available from
https://www.crufty.net/ftp/pub/sjg/mk.tar.gz
both that and
https://www.crufty.net/ftp/pub/sjg/bmake.tar.gz
will be links to the latest versions.
Porting
=======
If you encounter a system that bmake does not build or work on *out of
the box*, I welcome patches.
Even a report of unit tests which fail is appreciated.
If you can provide access to a suitable machine - even better.
