Hi, I was curious, which of the dozens of make programs does FreeBSD use?
So far I'm guessing that its imake or pmake, but is it something else? Is there
really a generic bsd 'make' program?
On another note, what make do you (as in everyone on the list) prefer, and
why?
I've heard lots of people complain that XFree doesn't use gmake, but I just
don't see whats wrong with imake... Of course, all the people who were
complaining were Linux users, but this made me curious if there are really
some distinguishing features of the gmake that set it above the rest... Or
were they just biased?
Interested to hear your thoughts on this.
