Yes. On *BSD systems you usually have a "normal" make.

On GNU/Linux systems you usually have a GNU make. GNU make has some
nice extensions, but of course, if you use them, your makefiles won't
be usable by the "normal" makes.

Thankfully, it's usually trivial to download and compile GNU make on
any unix system, so you can easily use GNU make extensions in your
makefiles, and just specify in your INSTALL file: "Use GNU make to
compile this program!".

Didn't you already multipost this very question all over the linux
newsgroups in the last few days?

You didn't believe the answers you were given?

What's your problem, doofus?

Yes, he has, this is at least the third time he posts the question, only
difference is that he now seems to have RedHat9 instead of RedHat8, and still
thinks he is using a newer Linux version than what his FreeBSD was.

For using FreeBSD he don't know what port is, and don't know the difference
between a port-makefile and real makefile.
He don't seem to manage to use google to find the information he had needed
for making RPMs and find the difference with the makefiles.
