### <a name="faq3_19"></a><a name="make_compatibility"></a>3.19 - What kind of make(1) compatibility does the IOCCC support and will it support other kinds?
|
||||
|
||||
For the [IOCCC](https://www.ioccc.org) [mkiocccentry submission
|
||||
toolkit](https://github.com/ioccc-src/mkiocccentry) and the [winning IOCCC
|
||||
entries](years.html) we support *ONLY* GNU Makefile syntax. This means that if
|
||||
you only have Cygwin or a BSD `make(1)` (often `bmake(1)`) or some other
|
||||
`make(1)` utility the Makefiles we use will not be compatible.
|
||||
|
||||
We do not intend on supporting anything but the GNU `make(1)` utility so if you
|
||||
do not currently have it installed you will have to do that in order to compile
|
||||
entries for the IOCCC. If you are submitting an entry this will also be
|
||||
necessary.
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not have GNU `make(1)` you might look for `gmake` as that is what it
|
||||
often is packaged as. Then you can use `gmake` instead. For instance if you go
|
||||
to the top level directory of the winner repo you can do:
|
||||
|
||||
``` <!---sh-->
|
||||
gmake
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
In the case that the Makefile uses the `MAKE` variable you will have to override
|
||||
it like:
|
||||
|
||||
``` <!---sh-->
|
||||
gmake MAKE=gmake
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
though of course for both you may specify a rule or rules to run.
