"gmake" is the FSF's implementation of "make. GNU Make has many powerful macro features for use in makefiles, beyond what other Make versions have.
I thinK the very reason for using GNU make may be, the source of GNU make is available to be built on any platform, and GNU make is highly portable. It runs on DOS, Windows, Amiga, and VMS in addition to the normal UNIX platforms. To have a highly portable build environment its best to write your makefiles using gmake. You can view gmake's features in its documentation: info -f make -n Features HTH |
