Short:        Port of GNU Make with SAS/C (no ixemul)
Author:       GNU, Amiga port by Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla, 4.4.1 updates by Darren Coles

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update to GNU Make to 4.4.1 - this is the very last commit before all Amiga
support was removed from the code. Therefore this is likely the last update
we will ever see on the Amiga unless someone reinstates all of the changes.

I made a few updates to get everything working again on the Amiga since it
had not been built on the Amiga for some years. My changes are available
here:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a pure Amiga port of GNU Make. It needs no extra libraries or
anything. It has the following features (in addition to any features of
GNU Make):

- Runs Amiga-Commands with SystemTags() (Execute)
- Can run multi-line statements
- Allows to use Device-Names in targets:

        c:make : make.o

    is ok. To distinguish between device-names and target : or ::, MAKE
    looks for spaces. If there are any around :, it's taken as a target
    delimiter, if there are none, it's taken as the name of a device. Note
    that "make:make.o" tries to create "make.o" on the device "make:".
- Replaces @@ by a newline in any command line:

        if exists make @@
            delete make.bak quiet @@
            rename make make.bak @@
        endif @@
        $(CC) Link Make.o To make

    works. Note that the @@ must stand alone (i.e., "make@@" is illegal).
    Also be careful that there is a space after the "" (i.e., at the
    beginning of the next line).
- Can be made resident to save space and time
- Amiga specific wildcards can be used in $(wildcard ...)

BUGS:
- The line

    dummy.h : src/*.c

tries to make dummy.h from "src/*.c" (i.e., no wildcard-expansion takes
place). You have to use "$(wildcard src/*.c)" instead.

COMPILING FROM SCRATCH
----------------------

To recompile, you need SAS/C 6.51.

As of GNU Make 4.3, the build environment has been cleaned up and alternate
make files (including smakefiles) have been removed.  If you have an existing
version of GNU Make available you _should_ be able to run:

   make -f Basic.mk

However this is untested.

If you have an Amiga system and would like to collaborate on getting
bootstrapping to work properly please contact bug-make@gnu.org.

INSTALLATION

Copy make somewhere in your search path (e.g., sc:c or sc:bin).
If you plan to use recursive makes, install make resident:

    Resident make Add
