Subject: Let plain ‘make’ work even not GNU Make
X-Git-Tag: emacs-27.0.90~3130
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6fa8d3c894062e7d3bde2d1ed35b40f2272e59f5;p=emacs.git

Let plain ‘make’ work even not GNU Make

* Makefile.in (top_distclean): Clean makefile as well as Makefile.
* configure.ac: If not using plain ‘make’, create a makefile
so that plain ‘make’ simply calls $(MAKE).
