Bug#2660: MAKE variable and recursive pmake
Package: pmake
Version: 1.0-11
As far as I know, I didn't find a bug report about this one. Then, I post it ;)
Apologies if this was already reported.
I installed pmake to compile my own version of sendmail using the new
make utility from BSD. However, when I use the subdirs rule to build
a complex target with subdirectories, pmake try to run make instead of
pmake on each makefile in subdirectories.
I looked into pmake default scripts and found that the subdirs rule
use a $(MAKE) variable to rerun pmake.
However, the MAKE variable is currently set to ``make'' instead of ``pmake''.
I overrided implicit declaration of MAKE in the top makefile, then I could
compile far away than previously ;)
Could you change the definition of this variable in the pmake binary ?
I looked into the man page and also found a typo (I suppose):
this manpage tell about a variable named .MAKE (don't forget the period!)
but pmake doesn't know it. Just a variable named MAKE (without period).
Regards.
