Subject: [PATCH] INSTALL: note that we prefer GNU make
Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2019 02:41:22 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191008024122.13606-1-e@80x24.org> (raw)
ExtUtils::MakeMaker uses non-POSIX '::', at least; and
our own Documentation/include.mk and our postamble are
written for GNU make.
GNU make is also more widely-installed and available than any
other make; even if I'm not generally a fan of GNU-isms.
