GNU make / DJGPP make difference? (Developers)

Except not always the same version. Plus DJGPP has quirks that MinGW doesn't (e.g. no separate shell for each command??). Besides, this is what my mingw32-make.exe says:

> GNU Make 3.81

And this is what my DJGPP make says:

> GNU Make 3.81

So, technically, you're using an outdated GNU/DJGPP make! (See here.)

P.S. You could always try CBuild, it's only one .C source file (!), and it's portable and (possibly) easier to use than true makefiles. Done by the same author as APEG (see other thread).
