Thread: URL for gmake
Trying to rebuild v6.5.3 and the procedure calls for gmake. A google search is a dog-chasing-tail exercise. Can anybody help with a URL or an alternative.

Depending on your platform, you may already have it. GNU make is standard on almost all Linux distributions (usually called just 'make'). The Cgywin tools also have GNU make as 'make' AFAIK. If you need to build GNU make from source, you can get it from the home of all GNU software: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/make-3.79.1.tar.gz -Doug

See http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html I usually use the GNU mirror at uunet (ftp://ftp.uu.net/packages/gnu/) but if you're not in the eastern US then another one of the mirrors shown at gnu.org is probably your best bet. regards, tom lane

Wow! Got a lot of reponses. Thanks all.
I must be, however, asking the wrong question.
Running debian 2.2 and make is in the system.
Here's a short list of the last few commands:
$./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql --with-odbc
$make all > make.log 2>&1 &
[1] 8486
$tail -f make.log
lot of missing prototypes messages but it gurgled
on and finally said All of Postgresql is
successfully made.
Ready to install.
had to Ctrl-c to get terminal back
$gmake install > make.install.log 2>&1 &
[2] 10419
[1] Done(127) gmake install >make.install.log 2&1
$tail -f make.install.log
sh: gmake: command not found
Thus the reason for confusion about gmake. Cannot
find a binary or link for gmake. How does it get
called.
Thanks again,
-Bill

This is just a guess, but I think the reference to gmake is simply for those that don't use GNU/Linux systems, such as Solaris. You have gmake if you are running a GNU/Linux system (which you are, of course, since you've got Debian). I'm sure all Unix variants have a "make" style program, just the one required for Postgresql is gnu-make.

Well, this was a case of monkey-see monkey-do. I was following a procedure published by VistaSource. So, I'll reconstruct my run and use 'make'. Wrote a lot of C programs before I got to Linux. I guess 'tail' invokes the command last entered? and that's why the error was not reported at 'gmake' entry.
