From 380b39f729a8ebcf1c31e8c08bc721000e7ff89e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Pfaff Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2013 12:50:57 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] INSTALL: Admit that only GNU make works. I promised some time ago to take a look at fixing the behavior of the Makefiles with non-GNU make, but it doesn't realistically seem that I will.
