* config/global.mk
* Upped minimum GNU Make version requirement to 3.78 (from 3.70).
We use many 3.78-only features since very long and in many
Makefiles (like $(if)). 3.78 was released in 1999, the year
Harbour has born, so this requirement looks pretty modest.
Notice however that the "officially" documented (in INSTALL)
minimum version is 3.81, and there are a few feature we
actually use and need from this version. Some other make features
are only enabled when using 3.80 (or upper) (parallel build),
some others when using 3.81 (or upper) (build configuration
information, verbose output).
; TODO: Either up the minimum version, or try to fix the remaining
unprotected 3.80/3.81 features.
My personal opininon is that if there is any reasonable
chance we should make 3.80 or 3.81 the minimum official
requirement.
This is a *nix-only issue, as dos/win/os2 are all covered
with recent 3.81 binary builds. Question is:
How and which *nix platforms would be affected or limited
in such this case?
BTW, 3.81 was released in 2006, 3.80 in 2002.
* ChangeLog
* Updated cross-build compatibility chart.
