I would appreciate if some of you could test the new version in addition to me. Those who can should fetch the source distribution from this URL: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.77.90.tar.gz and ask me to send you patches to this distribution, since I already saw several small problems. Thanks in advance to those who will participate in the testing. Btw, the above place has a test suite for Make, but I never had time to see if it works with the DJGPP version (it probably doesn't) and get it to work. If somebody wants to work on that, it would make testing new releases more reliable. The test suite needs Perl. The new Make has a new feature: the special target .LIBPATTERNS tells Make where to look for libraries that appear as -lNAME in the dependencies. The default value of .LIBPATTERNS for DJGPP is "lib%.a $(DJDIR)/lib/lib%.a". If somebody thinks this should be changed or amended, please tell me.
