Hi, all,
You know, the current Makefile for linux-ppc is based on linux shell.My
current work
is to translate the Makefile of linux-ppc into a standard one, such as one
for windows-based
Makefile,which is meaningful to other standard "make" utilities,including
the Borland make ,and
the Microsoft make.If anyone had such experience , advice is appreciate.
Thanks.
Ummm... what do you mean?
There is a standard make. It's POSIX, I believe. The linux makefile
is pretty close to it. Why on earth would you want to use Microsoft or
Borland tools (which are nmake, not make, IIRC) to build a kernel?

As a fun exercise?
Seriously, though, what would be good would be to modify the makefile to
eliminate all gnu extensions, i.e. converting it into a pure lowest-
common-denominator makefile (yes, it's probably POSIX). That would allow
it to be built under other OSes, including Windoze, but also *BSD, Darwin,
MacOS X, etc. That having been said, it's a pain in the backside to do
that sort of thing, so I wish you lots of luck. ;-)

WHY?!?
I once read in a guide about writing makefiles (can dig up the reference if you
want):
Don't try to write portable Makefiles, use a portable make (i.e. GNU make)
And I agree with this...
