I use z/OS make! Out of lack of experience, I guess, but it seems to
do its job OK. We ran into some issues when one developer was
accidentally using gnu make. It produced a bunch of mysterious
errors, and took us a while to figure out. So, makefiles don't seem
to be compatible between them (generalizing from my one example).
I usually edit in ISPF. For the tabs, I use something rare, like ~ or
@@, then before saving, do a change all to x'05'. And the inverse
when editing, if needed. Much of the time, you can edit around the
tabs just fine. But I really dislike invisible characters, and it
seems like a silly way to do things.
z/OS make != gmake != nmake (Microsoft's version). If you are
collaborating with others at work, it makes sense to standardize on one
make tool.
Although I haven't tried, it is likely possible to create a (very ugly)
Makefile that can react to which make tool is being used.
All the make tools share an annoying reliance on tab characters.
