If you depend on this special MAKE utility, you may try to translate it to IA64 and see, if it works.

Archunan,

> Kris C: case sensitive? MMK? do you talk about case sensitive filename?

I do. I have modified MMK 3.9-10, so that it is case sensitive for filenames (ODS-5 disks), modules in libraries, etc.
The only drawback is that if you specify device names in description files, they have to be in uppercase.

Regarding the "todd" & "perry" MAKE utilities, I tried to use them way back in the late 80s, early 90s; but soon abandoned them in favour of MMS and MMK.

> What is your suggestion Stewen?

I write for MMS and MMK. I have no real
experience with GNU "make" on VMS.

MMS V3.8-2 (in DECset V12.8 ECO 1) seems to
do better with ODS5 file systems than older
versions.

Seems we will have to choose either MMS or MMK or Gnu Make to build/port our appln to IA64/VMS.

Thanks Everyone for sharing your experiences and thoughts.
