7 # AX_CHECK_GNU_MAKE()
8 #
9 # DESCRIPTION
10 #
11 # This macro searches for a GNU version of make. If a match is found:
12 #
13 # * The makefile variable `ifGNUmake' is set to the empty string, otherwise
14 # it is set to "#". This is useful for including a special features in a
15 # Makefile, which cannot be handled by other versions of make.
16 # * The variable `_cv_gnu_make_command` is set to the command to invoke
17 # GNU make if it exists, the empty string otherwise.
18 # * The variable `ax_cv_gnu_make_command` is set to the command to invoke
19 # GNU make by copying `_cv_gnu_make_command`, otherwise it is unset.
20 # * If GNU Make is found, its version is extracted from the output of
21 # `make --version` as the last field of a record of space-separated
22 # columns and saved into the variable `ax_check_gnu_make_version`.
23 #
24 # Here is an example of its use:
25 #
26 # Makefile.in might contain:
27 #
28 # # A failsafe way of putting a dependency rule into a makefile
29 # $(DEPEND):
30 # $(CC) -MM $(srcdir)/*.c > $(DEPEND)
31 #
32 # @ifGNUmake@ ifeq ($(DEPEND),$(wildcard $(DEPEND)))
33 # @ifGNUmake@ include $(DEPEND)
34 # @ifGNUmake@ endif
35 #
36 # Then configure.in would normally contain:
37 #
38 # AX_CHECK_GNU_MAKE()
39 # AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)
40 #
41 # Then perhaps to cause gnu make to override any other make, we could do
42 # something like this (note that GNU make always looks for GNUmakefile
43 # first):
44 #
45 # if ! test x$_cv_gnu_make_command = x ; then
46 # mv Makefile GNUmakefile
47 # echo .DEFAULT: > Makefile ;
48 # echo \ $_cv_gnu_make_command \$@ >> Makefile;
49 # fi
50 #
51 # Then, if any (well almost any) other make is called, and GNU make also
52 # exists, then the other make wraps the GNU make.
