Re: Need help for an old makefile

The compiler does not parse makefiles.  'make' is a totally separate
program from the compiler, they are unrelated except for the fact that
they are commonly used together.  Your problem has nothing to do with
gcc though.

The same ways that you check that any program is installed:

- look at the list of packages installed
- "m4 --version" or "m4 -v"
- "type m4" or "which m4" or "locate m4"
- "ls -l /usr/bin/m4"
- etc.
