I work for two OS X based companies, one does maintain a couple Linux boxes, but overall prefers BSD and has an upcoming project to deploy haproxy 1.5 in production (the timing of the other thread on the subject was very welcome). My question would be whether the GNU make Makefiles fully support OS X & BSD. Thanks, -- Morgan --- http://makkintosshu.com/ http://seriesparts.com/ http://rikuwoiku.com/ http://unna.org/
