Bug ID: 236620
Summary: Installing a /usr/bin/bmake link for make(1)
Product: Base System
Version: 12.0-RELEASE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
Reporter: arichard...@freebsd.org
Would it be possible to install a /usr/bin/bmake link that points to
/usr/bin/make?
This would make it easier to write cross-platform scripts that build software
that needs bmake to compile. Currently I have lots of `if FREEBSD "make" else
"bmake"` checks in my scripts. Since make is bmake it would be nice to also
install it as bmake.
On MacOS and Linux bmake will generally be installed as /usr/local/bin/bmake
(homebrew) or /usr/bin/bmake (Ubuntu) so if I could just invoke bmake
everywhere that would be nice.
