1 Short: Port of GNU make with SAS/C (no ixemul.library required)
2 Author: GNU, Amiga port by Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla

6 This is a pure Amiga port of GNU make. It needs no extra libraries or
7 anything. It has the following features (in addition to any features of
10 - Runs Amiga-Commands with SystemTags() (Execute)
11 - Can run multi-line statements
12 - Allows to use Device-Names in targets:
16 is ok. To distinguish between device-names and target : or ::, MAKE
17 looks for spaces. If there are any around :, it's taken as a target
18 delimiter, if there are none, it's taken as the name of a device. Note
19 that "make:make.o" tries to create "make.o" on the device "make:".
20 - Replaces @@ by a newline in any command line:
23 delete make.bak quiet @@\
24 rename make make.bak @@\
26 $(CC) Link Make.o To make
28 works. Note that the @@ must stand alone (i.e., "make@@\" is illegal).
29 Also be careful that there is a space after the "\" (i.e., at the
30 beginning of the next line).
31 - Can be made resident to save space and time
32 - Amiga specific wildcards can be used in $(wildcard ...)
39 tries to make dummy.h from "src/*.c" (i.e., no wildcard-expansion takes
40 place). You have to use "$(wildcard src/*.c)" instead.
42 COMPILING FROM SCRATCH
43 ----------------------
45 To recompile, you need SAS/C 6.51.
47 As of GNU make 4.3, the build environment has been cleaned up and alternate
48 make files (including smakefiles) have been removed. If you have an existing
49 version of GNU make available you _should_ be able to run:
53 However this is untested.
55 If you have an Amiga system and would like to collaborate on getting
56 bootstrapping to work properly please contact bug-make@gnu.org.
60 Copy make somewhere in your search path (e.g., sc:c or sc:bin).
61 If you plan to use recursive makes, install make resident:
