There are a lot of features in GNU make which aren't widely used. E.g. anything which isn't used by the Makefiles which automake generates won't affect most FOSS software, and a lot of non-automake software tries to work with other make programs. > > I'd be happy with the unconditional pipe and recommending to > > developers to upgrade their make and not worrying about the 1-shot > > user builds. > > Maybe not as much for Mac-land, but for othe UNIXs worrying about self > compiles > is a big deal. The issue is with re-compilation. Unnecessary rebuilding isn't a problem for a "one-shot" build (configure;make;make install;make clean). -- Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://grass.itc.it/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
