UNIX MAKE and GNU MAKE
|

----------------------
|

|

When you build gdb in the same directory as the source, you should be able

to use any available "make" that has traditional UNIX make functionality.
|

If you build gdb in a separate directory tree from the source, using the

configure "--subdir" option, then only GNU make is fully supported, although
|

other makes with complete VPATH support should work (SunOS make for example).
