While I am posting stuff, I recently had to get Gnu make up on my slab for an X plotting application. It seems to work great on most "standard" unix-type Makefiles (and adds some nice feature, particularly for dealing with libraries). Unfortunately Gnu make apparently barfs on IB generated applications. Has anybody else had this problem? Any fixes? Hal Youngren guppy@henry.mit.edu

Seriously, I've named GNU make gmake, and use it for everthing but stuff made by the IB. As I recall the problem is that GNU make doesn't do includes in the way that NeXT's /bin/make does, and it looked to me to be easier to rename it then to futz with it to get all the functionality of /bin/make (on the NeXT).
