GNU `make' was implemented by Richard Stallman + and Roland McGrath. Development since Version 3.76 has been + handled by Paul D. Smith. + + This is a case-preserving version of GNU make. While the + win32 file systems encountered when using MSYS software are + invariably case-INsensitive, some users prefer a GNU `make' that + itself is case-sensitive -- this version of make is a compromise + which exploits the case-preserving aspect of win32 file systems. + It considers *all* targets as fundamentally case-insensitive, but + first attempts to resolve them as case-sensitive, falling back to + the case-insensitive behaviour only if the case-sensitive match + remains unresolved. + + The MinGW/MSYS project provides two versions of make: + this msys-make version acts generally more as make is intended + to operate, and gives fewer headaches during execution. However, + msys-make requires the MSYS dll. The other version, mingw32-make, + does not require the MSYS dll, but because of the lack of POSIX + support in "pure" Win32 has a number of known shortcomings in + comparison. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +
