Release: Current

Environment

AIX

Description

The gnu make command on AIX is generally make. If you do not specify MAKE=gmake for configure it does not install properly.

I have autodetect logic for configure to make the path smoother.

The code in fix is mine written for OpenOffice.org. I assign copyright to gnupg as the originating author of the code. I have included the version check in case it is relevant to you. Use as you see fit.
