Comment (by kencu):

 there are many ports that specify gmake for the build.cmd in the portfile.
 I put it in, or others have, when we see it is needed, like this:
 {{{
 plarform darwin 8 {
     depends_build-append port:gmake
     build.cmd   gmake
 }
 }}}

 For a while I also made such a symlink on my Tiger machines, but I did
 eventually come across some ports that actually would not build on Tiger
 because gmake was too new ! So I agree with adding it where it is needed.

 Welcome! I like Tiger, and have several machines running it around here.
 Thousands of ports build on Tiger; I recently got {{{octave}}} running on
 Tiger. Don't miss out on TenFourFox (not a port in MacPorts at present, a
 browser you can download).


 post up tickets when something you need won't build; not everything can
 build on Tiger, but we'll fix what can be fixed.
