Re: make flavor checks?

[Ely Levy]

There isn't any,
as autoconf is working hand to hand with automake,
personaly I find it annoying I don't like automake
and I think it would take a very long time till it would produce a small
portable make file.

I guess you can check for the existing of gmake and then try to run it
with the parameters you want and see if the error code is 1.
