HOWTO

# GNU make 4.2.1
# ==============
# Slackware 13.37, 14.0, 14.1: make 3.82
# Slackware 14.2: make 4.1

# If you ever want to uninstall make, or if you want to clean up files
# from an old version before installing a new one, skip down to the
# bottom for instructions.

# If the download site used below is busy, try one of these:
# http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/gnu/ftp/gnu/make/
# http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/
# ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make/

# Below I use --disable-nls because I only read/write English (well), if
# this is not the case for you, leave that off

# Prerequisites:
# Perl
# gettext (if no --disable-nls)
# pkg-config
# Guile 1.8 or 2.0.x (not 2.2.x)

# Get it
