Are the SMakefiles provided in the GNU make distribution for use on AmigaOS supposed to be used with the smake you're talking about? Or is there a separate smake that comes with AmigaOS? js> NOTE: even GNU make would (in case configure did not yet run) try js> to read these files and stop because these files do not contain js> valid make syntax. GNU make only reads that file if it's being compiled on AmigaOS. I don't have an Amiga so I can't test it; I assumed that the contents of the file would be valid if invoked on an Amiga system. js> Wouldn't it more wise to rename these files and tell the now rare js> AmigaOS users how to get them back? Hm. Well, no offense but no one has ever before mentioned this problem to me, so I'd say that people trying to build GNU make using smake are similarly rare :-). I don't object to modifying it per se, but we'd need to give the Amiga users a chance to speak up and defend the status quo before just changing it. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
