Make problem - zsh 2.6-beta13 under NeXTSTEP3.3

[Andrew_Forkes]

Hi,

I have been trying to install zsh 2.6-beta13 under  
NeXTSTEP-Intel486-V3.3, but have come across an error while trying to  
build the distribution:

Make compiles up the source (Src) directory no problems, and then moves  
forward to the Doc directory, after which I receive a "No Suffix list."  
error.  I also notice it on the very first line after starting a make.

Any clues to a fix would be great.  BTW, I'm not a member of this list.

Many thanks, and congratulations on such an excellent shell!

It's not really an error.  It's NeXT's make being overly bitchy
about something that's not a problem.   The lines

.SUFFIX

are just clearing the default suffix list for that Makefile.
I added those since certain makes (particularly GNU make) are overly
aggressive about firing off default rules.

Don't worry about it.  It doesn't hurt anything.
