[JDEV] Question on Solaris install of Jabber server 1.2

[Craig]

Looks like you're using Solaris' make when you should be using gmake. On my
Solaris box, make does bad things:
/usr/ccs/bin/make
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 6: Badly formed macro
assignment

but gmake does good things:
/usr/local/bin/gmake
Making all in gen
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/home/craigk/src/jabber2-pthread/jabberd/gen'

gcc -g -Wall -fPIC -I/usr/include -I./ -I../ -I/home/craigk/usr/include
-c -o
base_host.o base_host.c

--C
