6This is a pure Amiga port of GNU make. It needs no extra libraries or
7anything. It has the following features (in addition to any features of
8GNU make):
9
10- Runs Amiga-Commands with SystemTags() (Execute)
11- Can run multi-line statements
12- Allows to use Device-Names in targets:
13
14	c:make : make.o
15
16    is ok. To distinguish between device-names and target : or ::, MAKE
17    looks for spaces. If there are any around :, it's taken as a target
18    delimiter, if there are none, it's taken as the name of a device. Note
19    that "make:make.o" tries to create "make.o" on the device "make:".
20- Replaces @@ by a newline in any command line:
21
22	if exists make @@\
23	    delete make.bak quiet @@\
24	    rename make make.bak @@\
25	endif @@\
26	$(CC) Link Make.o To make
27
28    works. Note that the @@ must stand alone (ie. "make@@\" is illegal).
29    Also be carefull that there is a space after the "\" (ie, at the
30    beginning of the next line).
31- Can be made resident to save space and time
32- Amiga specific wildcards can be used in $(wildcard ...)
33
34BUGS:
35- The line
36
37    dummy.h : src/*.c
38
39tries to make dummy.h from "src/*.c" (ie. no wildcard-expansion takes
40place). You have to use "$(wildcard src/*.c)" instead.
41
42COMPILING FROM SCRATCH
43----------------------
44
45To recompile, you need SAS/C 6.51. make itself is not neccessary, there
46is an smakefile.
47
481. Copy config.ami to config.h
492. If you use make to compie, copy Makefile.ami to Makefile and
50    glob/Makefile.ami to glob/Makefile. Copy make into the current
51    directory.
52
533. Run smake/make
54
55INSTALLATION
56
57Copy make somewhere in your search path (eg. sc:c or sc:bin).
58If you plan to use recursive makes, install make resident:
