Just to muddy the waters somewhat Lucent (or AT&T as it used to me i think)
also have an nmake utility
heres a link to the faq entry comparing it to gmake.

>Yes. You seem to have a nmake-makefile, so you have to use nmake, unless
you're rewriting it. Hint: Make-syntax is normally >not compatible between
different make utilities.

Of course this still applys anyway.
