	o fix duplicate progname when reporting an unknown target
	o unit tests for Cmd_Exec using temp file

	* VERSION (_MAKE_VERSION): 20240105
	Merge with NetBSD make, pick up

	$FreeBSD$ tag, so avoid adding it.

mk/ChangeLog since bmake-20230909

	* dirdeps.mk: for MAKE_VERSION 20240105 we do not have the same
	limits on command line length, so skip export of lists to env.

	* jobs.mk: avoid C suffix in JOB_MAX_C if factor is floating
	point.  This keeps JOB_MAX numeric incase another makefile does
	comparisons.

	* gendirdeps.mk: if META_XTRAS is passed to us, add to META_FILES

			       bmake
			       *****

This directory contains a port of the BSD make tool (from NetBSD).
Since 1993 I have run it on AIX, BSDi, Darwin, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX,
Linux, Minix, OSF, Solaris, SunOS and even UTS.
Others have run it on many more systems.

Currently each release is tested on Darwin, NetBSD, FreeBSD and Linux.

Since 2003 bmake switched to a date based version (first was 20030714)
which generally represents the date it was last merged with NetBSD's
make.  Since then, NetBSD's make is imported within a week of any
*interesting* changes, so that bmake tracks it very closely.

Building
========

The preferred way to bootstrap bmake is::

	./bmake/boot-strap

there are a number of args - most of which get passed to configure,
eg.
::

	./bmake/boot-strap --prefix=/opt

see the boot-strap script for details.

For folk that hate to read anything, since 20121212 you can also use
the GNU standard process of::

	./configure; make; make install

This will *not* work on Darwin or any other system with a case
insensitive filesystem.  It depends on a generated ``makefile`` which
is disabled by default on Darwin.

To make much use of bmake you will need the bsd.*.mk macros or my
portable *.mk macros which are included with bmake since 20121212
and separately available from
https://www.crufty.net/ftp/pub/sjg/mk.tar.gz
both that and
https://www.crufty.net/ftp/pub/sjg/bmake.tar.gz
will be links to the latest versions.

Porting
=======

If you encounter a system that bmake does not build or work on *out of
the box*, I welcome patches.
Even a report of unit tests which fail is appreciated.
If you can provide access to a suitable machine - even better.
