From 1cebf17fbe6943a2151a37e054b1475e049bad5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mahmoud Al-Qudsi Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2017 03:54:49 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] build: show a hint for BSD make (#7275) BSD Make will give preference to a BSDmakefile in the same directory over a generic Makefile; this can be used to instruct BSD users to build neovim with GNU Make (gmake) instead. Otherwise, a flood of syntax errors stemming from the GNU-specific Makefile will be displayed - which most BSD users are accustomed to, but may confuse beginners nevertheless. --- BSDmakefile | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) create mode 100644 BSDmakefile diff --git a/BSDmakefile b/BSDmakefile new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..93b7dc7f3d --- /dev/null +++ b/BSDmakefile @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +.DONE: + @echo "Please use GNU Make (gmake) to build neovim" +.DEFAULT: + @echo "Please use GNU Make (gmake) to build neovim"
