I hear you, it drove me nuts too, and I could swear I didn't see it in
the instructions, but there is a spot on the documentation that says
something about gnumake may be called make, if you read the fine details
of the packages, sometimes they'll say gnumake and install it telling you
it's called make, which was fine by me, provided that it worked like make.
If it's GNUMake renamed as Make, why not have it support all files as GNU
Make as is? There is versions of Make and GnuMake out there, Make is not
allways GNU Make, so if you want to make a Make version of GNUMake, then
in the installation, create a symbolic link to gnumake and have the program
check upon startup if it was called via make or gnumake and setup the
filename and command line appropriately, or just check for both files....
Good grief, Linux is *SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER*, not more aggrivating!
