- This directory contains the 3.74 test release of GNU Make.
- All bugs reported for previous test releases have been fixed.
- Some bugs surely remain.
-
- For general building and installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.
- If you need to build GNU Make and have no other `make' program to use,
- you can use the shell script `build.sh' instead. To do this, first run
- `configure' as described in INSTALL. Then, instead of typing `make' to
- build the program, type `sh build.sh'. This should compile the program
- in the current directory. Then you will have a Make program that you can
- use for `make install', or whatever else.
-
- It has been reported that the XLC 1.2 compiler on AIX 3.2 is buggy such
- that if you compile make with `cc -O' on AIX 3.2, it will not work correctly.
- It is said that using `cc' without `-O' does work.
-
- One area that is often a problem in configuration and porting is the code
- to check the system's current load average. To make it easier to test and
- debug this code, you can do `make check-loadavg' to see if it works
- properly on your system. (You must run `configure' beforehand, but you
- need not build Make itself to run this test.)
-
- See the file NEWS for what has changed since previous releases.
-
- GNU Make is fully documented in make.texinfo. See the section entitled
- `Problems and Bugs' for information on submitting bug reports.
-
- GNU Make is free software. See the file COPYING for copying conditions.
