rneovim.git/BSDmakefile, branch v0.4.3 Neovim fork with Rahm's personal hacks. build: show a hint for BSD make (#7275) 2017-09-16T08:54:49+00:00 Mahmoud Al-Qudsi mqudsi@neosmart.net 2017-09-16T08:54:49+00:00 1cebf17fbe6943a2151a37e054b1475e049bad5f BSD Make will give preference to a BSDmakefile in the same directory over a generic Makefile; this can be used to instruct BSD users to build neovim with GNU Make (gmake) instead. Otherwise, a flood of syntax errors stemming from the GNU-specific Makefile will be displayed - which most BSD users are accustomed to, but may confuse beginners nevertheless.
