Hi:
Is there a difference between 'make' and 'bmake' on DragonFly
BSD 2.4.1 ?
i noticed that /usr/pkgsrc/ builds require 'bmake'
eg. to compile /usr/pkgsrc/devel/gmake
while 'make' crashes out with many errors.
Additionally, /usr/src/test/amd64/ system tests require 'gmake'.
A quick check of the man pages shows
make : make(1) DragonFly 2.4 March 30, 2005
bmake: make(1) DragonFly 2.4 September 7, 2009
Can the more experienced folks, share their perspective on which
make is recommended to be used ?
thanks
Saifi.
