gnu make

[sirron]

Does anyone know how to setup GNU MAKE.
I need step by step.

Also is there a way to find which MAKE utility is being used.

I typed this
$make -version
make: Not a recognized flag: v
usage: make [-einqrst] [-k|-S] [-d[A|adg[1|2]mstv]] [-D variable] [-f makefile ] [variable=value ...] [target ...]

hello,

I suggest you download the binary package of make for AIX from :

http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/download.html

you should get automake package, and I would recommend to download too the binutils and autoconf package.

to install :
rpm -ivh name_of_the_package.rpm

The binaries will be installed in
/opt/freeware/bin

then add this path to PATH.

With GNU utilites, name_of_the_tool --version gives you some version informations, tough not very precise with make

AIX make is brought by the bos.adt.base fileset, check his version number with lslpp -aL | grep 'bos.adt'


To know wich make is invoked by default, you can use :

which make

regards,

I need to use the the GNUmake.
The program I am trying to compile will only use GNUmake and not the AIX Make utility.

I need help setting up the GNUmake utility so I can compile the program.

So this is what I am trying to do.

I downloaded this file
make-3.80.tar

I typed at the command line

tar -xvf make-3.80.tar

./configure
make
make install

After this is done there is a make file in the this directory. I don't see the gmake file.

Is this correct? And is there anything else I need to do.

/usr/local/bin/make-3.80
