This is a port of GNU Make 4.0 to MSDOS/DJGPP.
Make is a program for building other programs, given a description of
the dependencies between the files.
DJGPP specific changes.
=======================
The most important DJGPP specific change is that I have removed the dependence
of guile. AFAIK there is no DJGPP port of guile and I assume that there will
never be. This means that all make extensions that require the use of guile
will never be available for DJGPP. BTW I have no intention to port guile to
DJGPP/DOS.
The second minor change I have done was to add a rule to create pdf formatted
documentation to the makefile.
As usual I have added a copy of the popen.c file to the sources to avoid to
use the broken popen function for djdev204.
The test suite requires perl and fails completely. This is because it checks
for the perl fork() functionality that is not supported by the current DJGPP
port of perl. The make program will be tested by using it.
Please read the Make specific news, readme and changelog files for more
information.
Please note that there will be no binary archive compiled with djdev203.
Using djdev203 increases the amount of porting work even more and I have not
the time to waist it in such a task. Anyway the binaries produced with
djdev204 are as good as the ones produced with stock djdev203.
The source archive is not SFN clean. To compile the sources you will need
some OS with LFN support.
The port consists of the usual three packages that have been compiled using
djdev204 from the /beta directory and it can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com
and mirrors as (time stamp 2013-10-30):
