More Makefile Questions

[Russell Haley <russ.haley@...>]

Hi there,

I was wondering why the Lua Makefile requires a target for each OS,
when that functionality is something that can be automated in all make
systems with little effort?  I know very little about make, but I was
able to mangle the luasys Makefile to remove the need for an OS
dependant target:

I have not tested the mingw logic, but that is something simple. I
would like to see the requirement for OS specific targets disappear as
I am building for both Debian and FreeBSD and, well, it can be
automated with no difference to the end user.

If there is interest in pursuing this feature, I will try and put a
patch together in the near future, otherwise, it's no big deal.

Thanks so much!
