Emacs own makefiles are not GNU make, being auto* based it uses plain make as do many other GNU projects. In what way is emacs' makefile _incompatible_ with GNU Make? Or put another way, what part of the file is fontified _incorrectly_ if treated as a GNU Makefile? ifdef, $(patsubst) and all that.  I was completely astounded to find that Emacs is not meant to be built with gmake, and I would have inadvertantly put these in, had I felt the need.  Emacs itself would have strengthened my belief that this is right, and then it would have broken it for all people and/or platforms without gmake.  Note that I'm not arguing against the choice of automake here.  It may make sence for a lot of underequipped machines.  I'm only saying, if there is such a choice, it should be clear. coralament / best Grötens / liebe Grüße / best regards / elkorajn salutojn Daniel Pfeiffer -- lerne / learn / apprends / lär dig / ucz się Esperanto: http://lernu.net/
