Netpbm 10.69.02 does not build on PPC Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4.11) because of a faulty Makefile

Ah. This is from a patch I added recently (#43566). This works with make 3.81, but Tiger has make 3.80. Should be simple to revise the patch to be compatible with make 3.80.

Adding in Portfile on line #68

MAKE = gmake

seems to be a fix for this issue.

Yes, using MacPorts gmake instead of Xcode's is a workaround. It should be possible to rewrite the Makefile patch so that this is not necessary, but I have not had time to do this. I'll add the gmake dependency until then. r133871

Since Netpbm 10.76 is out and installed and it uses gmake to build the port, this ticket can be closed now…
