That is so that (./configure; make install) will work provided GNU Make is available under some conventional name, even if it isn't called 'make'. Since Emacs already "assumes GNU Make", I wonder whether it does that. I see that Emacs comes with a file GNUmakefile and configuring creates Makefile. What is the job of each of these files, and how do they relate to each other? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
