Cannot compile the Tiny C Compiler

[Ben Woolley]

Hi Christian,

It needs gmake, not make, which on BSDs is not the same. The README had a note about it *under* the build commands you tried to run:

“Notes: For OSX and FreeBSD, gmake should be used instead of make”

This happens a lot to me, too, where the information I need is further down in the docs. 

Typically need to follow the FreeBSD instructions, although not every time. Just be on the lookout for FreeBSD instructions.

Good luck,

Ben
