The syntax of the gitea Makefile is not platform-agnostic and is
specific to the GNU version of
make
. BSD platforms such as FreeBSDship with bmake (BSD make) as their default
make
program; attemptingto compile gitea by simply executing
make
causes a wall of errors toshow as a result of syntax incompatible with BSD make.
If a file named
BSDmakefile
is present,bmake
will give itpreference over a generic
Makefile
. ThisBSDmakefile
is taken fromthe BSD-licensed
gmake-proxy
project, which transparently proxiesall
make
commands togmake
(GNU make) on systems wherebmake
isthe default, and if
gmake
is not installed an error message isdisplayed.
