differences is between make and gmake in terms of
"making"?  I can see that gmake is gnu's version

On Linux systems, there is no base system 'make', so GNU
make is
installed as 'make'. On FreeBSD systems, there is a base
system make
that is maintained by the FreeBSD project, so GNU make is
installed as
'gmake'. The main differences in making with them is that
GNU make and
FreeBSD make accept different arguments, and their makefile
syntaxes
have discrepancies.
