====== Make ======

Synchronet supports building with GNU make only. On my Unix/Linux systems, the command to invoke GNU make would be ''gmake''. If the ''gmake'' comman doesn't work, try executing ''make -v'' and if you see something like the following, then use the ''make'' command in place of ''gmake'' for building Synchronet.

===== Common Errors =====
On some Unixes (e.g. Debian Linux), the GNU make command is ''make'' instead of ''gmake''. Creating a symlink or an alias can resolve this issue easily.
