This is already implied since there's some use in the build > (see src/mesa/drivers/dri/Makefile.template). Makefile.template is only used for DRI drivers, not for core Mesa. Right now DRI is only supported on Linux and FreeBSD. Both of these platforms ship with GNU make by default. However, core Mesa (without DRI) is supported on a ton of Unix flavors (HP-UX, AIX, older SunOS, etc.) that do not ship with GNU make by default. That said, GNU make is available for all those platforms. I would personally be in favor of requiring GNU make if it will help clean up the Mesa build madness even one tiny bit. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFHOfRuX1gOwKyEAw8RAiDYAJ4ohQtkr7IVKrt931oVWWpP2op3EwCfa5xj Noad/HTneAAraI0w2RDG38g= =n84u -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
