gmake, bmake; how can they be obtained?   
I am trying to recompile some third party code with 6.4.0 and
I found that it has makefiles that require gmake.exe

gmake.exe is removed from the 640 SDP and I cannot find guidance on
how to go about it.

In a forum entry I found the words "why are you using gmake and not bmake!? ..."  If bmake is some replacement for gmake
, that would be great, but it is not part of the SDP either.

Thanks in advance for your guidance,

-Fernando

Isn`t gmake the same as make?

Re: RE: gmake, bmake; how can they be obtained?   
Thanks a lot Mario,

My question is trivial once I understand that "gmake is the GNU version of make".

I executed the "gmake.exe --version" in the older SDK installation (for Windows) that I am trying to upgrade:

   DOS> gmake --version
   GNU Make 3.80
   Copyright (C) 2002  Free Software Foundation, Inc.
   This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
   There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A
   PARTICULAR PURPOSE.


And that shows that it clearly identical to the make.exe ...

   DOS> make --version
   GNU Make 3.80
   Copyright (C) 2002  Free Software Foundation, Inc.
   This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
   There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A
   PARTICULAR PURPOSE.


Thanks & regards,

-Fernando
