Remove warning about Gnu `make` version @Nuru (#366)
what
- Remove warning about Gnu
make
version added in #360
why
- The warning was unnecessary, misleading, and overly specific
- The warning checked for "GNU Make 4.4". This of course will break when version 4.5 comes out. Furthermore, Ubuntu 20.4 LTS currently has GNU Make 4.2, which also triggers the warnings
- The issues with building on macOS that were purported to be fixed by using GNU Make have not been clearly connected to the
make
version. I strongly suspect any issues with builds on Mac to be related to such things as macOS shipping with the ancientbash
version 3.2.57, which is missing important features available in the currentbash
v5, or other aspects of macOS deviations from POSIX. These should be addressed by fixing the broken build recipes, not by requiring action on the part of the user (unless action is required, like installingjq
, in which case this should cause an explicit and specific error message to be generated.
