our Makefiles are gmake-specific
- Program: Authoritative, Recursor, dnsdist
- Issue type: Feature request
Short description
Our Makefiles fail on BSD-make - in some places they error out, but worse, in some other places they silently do the wrong thing.
Expected behaviour
Successful compile.
Actual behaviour
Problems.
Other information
This ticket is light on details, for which I apologise, I just recalled this problem without running into it specifically right now.
I know for dnsdist, this pops up specifically when you build with protobuf.
Suggested fixes:
- remove GNUisms (hard)
- abort early when not running under gmake (easier) - wonder if we can tell autotools to write GNUmakefile instead of Makefile?
@zeha nobody reads it. I don't. Even my own OS-specific notes I will only look for if things fail ;)
remove GNUisms (hard)
I think the only GNU-isms we use is $< (but it makes for an easier read of the makefile.am)

A quick look at the info pages says 'no'
