On Debian systems, make is the same as gmake. To process a Makefile,in,
you need to run the configure script in the same directory. If 
there is a configure.in, you need to run autoconf to generate configure.

"./configure" processes it for you.

If you don't have a "./configure" script yet (quite possible with sources
from CVS), read the documenation of "autoconf" on how to generate it.

On non-GNU systems, GNU programs are sometimes installed with a "g" prefix.
It's GNU make; the regular "make" on Linux.
