Chr> In the man dir, I had to use gmake instead of sgi's make. Is it a Chr> goal of the XEmacs project to build with native cc's and make Chr> utilities, or is the object rather to breed a gnu generation of Chr> gcc/ecgs users? We'd like to support all makes, but the functionality specified by Posix is pretty weak. The construct in question is the use of % in make rules in man/Makefile. I think I'm to blame for this. My motivation at the time was that only developers should have to do a `make' in man. The XEmacs tarball would have pre-built info files, so there's nothing to do in man/. But I think later Steve made compilation in man a required part of every build. It could be fixed by making the `man' part of the build be error-resistant, or by rewriting man/Makefile for portability. Any volunteers? Martin
