[Info-vax] make vs. MMS

[Steven Schweda]

   I doubt that there is an "in general" answer.  Without seeing the
original "make" file(s), I wouldn't try to guess.

  Converting a "make" file to MMS is often relatively easy, but if the
project uses a script-generated "config.h" file, then that's typically a
bigger problem in an environment where you can't run the script.  And
much GNU stuff seems to drag in vast quantities of other GNU stuff.

   When dealing with a script-generated "config.h", my usual procedure
has been to (try to) build the kit on Tru64, and then manually edit the
result.  It's far from automatic.

   Various examples are available at antinode,info.

   How long is "too long"?  "unzip -v"?  Any useful info at all might be
helpful.
