Building v1.15 on FreeBSD 14

[carl]

I'm trying to build v1.15 on FreeBSD and I'm failing miserably.
I have no idea what I'm doing in FreeBSD.

user@bsd14VM:~/ncid $ make freebsd
make: "/home/user/ncid/Makefile" line 117: Invalid line type
make: "/home/user/ncid/Makefile" line 127: Invalid line type
make: "/home/user/ncid/Makefile" line 139: Invalid line type
make: "/home/user/ncid/Makefile" line 151: Invalid line type
make: Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
make: stopped in /home/user/ncid

Seems to me like it doesn't like the conditionals, that are trying to figure out if I'm on a Mac (which I'm not) or not. Maybe?

ifeq ($(UNAME_S),Darwin)
    # Macintosh compiler
    # if CC and CXX changed, also change Makefiles in gateway, server, tools
    CC       = gcc
    CXX      = g++ -std=c++17

    MFLAGS   = -Wall -Wmissing-declarations -Wuninitialized \
               -Wsign-compare

    MAKE     = gmake
else ifeq ($(UNAME_S),FreeBSD)
    MAKE     = gmake
    CC       = cc
    CXX      = c++

    # full RELRO options
    RFLAGS   = -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now

    # global additions to CFLAGS
    MFLAGS   = -Wmissing-declarations -Wunused-variable -Wparentheses \
               -Wreturn-type -Wuninitialized -Wsign-compare \
               -Wformat -Wformat-zero-length
else
    CC       = gcc
    CXX      = g++

    # full RELRO options
    RFLAGS   = -Wl,-z,relro,-z,now

    # global additions to CFLAGS
    MFLAGS   = -Wmissing-declarations -Wunused-variable -Wparentheses \
               -Wreturn-type -Wuninitialized -Wsign-compare \
               -Wformat -Wformat-zero-length -Wno-stringop-truncation \
               # -Wformat-overflow
endif

You should be using gmake instead of make.
