Re: [Nmh-workers] nmh-1.3-RC1: restoring build functionality lost since nmh-1.0.4

[Russell Ruby]

Yes.  That patch works - almost (one more similar change).  I had
made the same makefile changes (except your lex change is cleaner)
and successfully built outside the source directory using the
SunOS4.1.4 vendor version of make - a rather crusty old "make"
I largely abandoned maybe 10 years ago in favour of GNU make
because of extensive problems building random packages.

I was just finishing up a few more build tests on my old slow
sparc5 before I opened my mouth and suggested any more changes.

Sorry about mucking up portability.   I was being lazy, didn't dig,
 and simply asked to revert to something from nmh-1.0.4 which
"worked for me",  an attitude I usually frown on when observed in others.

But there is one more reference in RC2 which needs to be fixed:
