Nah - thanks to the wonders of virtualization, I can have it all ! :-)

I'll try to come up with something clever, but it'll require /bin/sh

For some reason FreeBSD comes with the drain-bamaged csh by default,
and that won't do. It doesn't have to be bash, but something usable...

The tarball from http://dgcc.sourceforge.net is OK, so it's a Port bug.

Probably because it is calling "make" and not "gmake" ? (MAKE=gmake)

They are called GNUmakefile so that Digital Mars Make will miss them.

It requires GNU Install, so you need "coreutils" and a INSTALL=ginstall
(I must confess that I didn't test installing it, just building Samples)

Should probably have written explicity that it requires the GNU tools,
even if we do support the Digital Mars tools as well out of kindness.
