[comp.sys.dec] MAKE on VMS V5.x?

sandhoff@csusac.csus.edu (John F. Sandhoff) (03/16/90)

Can anybody tell me what I need to do to make the MAKE command on
my VMS 5.1 system functional? There's no documentation, no references,
but entering MAKE <file> returns an error trying to open MAKE_IMAGE_MASK.
Is this executable hidden on a release tape somewhere? Who can tell
me about VMS MAKE?

Please reply directly to sandhoff@csus.edu, I often don't have the
opportunity to peruse all of the news articles.

Look into the VMS mms utility. It is a primitive version of make, but it
can get
the job done.

Personally, I prefer using imake...
