Short: Port of GNU make with SAS/C (no ixemul.library required)
Author: GNU, Amiga port by Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla
Uploader: Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla (digulla@fh-konstanz.de)
Type: dev/c

This is a pure Amiga port of GNU make. It needs no extra libraries or
anything. It has the following features (in addition to any features of
GNU make):

- Runs Amiga-Commands with SystemTags() (Execute)
- Can run multi-line statements
- Allows to use Device-Names in targets:

        c:make : make.o

    is ok. To distinguish between device-names and target : or ::, MAKE
    looks for spaces. If there are any around :, it's taken as a target
    delimiter, if there are none, it's taken as the name of a device. Note
    that "make:make.o" tries to create "make.o" on the device "make:".
- Replaces @@ by a newline in any command line:

        if exists make @@\
            delete make.bak quiet @@\
            rename make make.bak @@\
        endif @@\
        $(CC) Link Make.o To make

    works. Note that the @@ must stand alone (i.e., "make@@\" is illegal).
    Also be careful that there is a space after the "\" (i.e., at the
    beginning of the next line).
- Can be made resident to save space and time
- Amiga specific wildcards can be used in $(wildcard ...)

BUGS:
- The line

    dummy.h : src/*.c

tries to make dummy.h from "src/*.c" (i.e., no wildcard-expansion takes
place). You have to use "$(wildcard src/*.c)" instead.

COMPILING FROM SCRATCH
----------------------

To recompile, you need SAS/C 6.51.

As of GNU make 4.3, the build environment has been cleaned up and alternate
make files (including smakefiles) have been removed.  If you have an existing
version of GNU make available you _should_ be able to run:

   make -f Basic.mk

However this is untested.

If you have an Amiga system and would like to collaborate on getting
bootstrapping to work properly please contact bug-make@gnu.org.

INSTALLATION

Copy make somewhere in your search path (e.g., sc:c or sc:bin).
If you plan to use recursive makes, install make resident:

    Resident make Add
