7bfcccf701 Use correct, platform-agnostic invocation of cmake in BSDmakefile
cmake can (and should) be used to invoke the build/install command,
instead of directly calling `ninja` or `make`, via the `--build DIR
[--target TARGET]` syntax.

fbed821a5b Switch BSDmakefile to invoke build via cmake
This will use the native BSD bmake build system instead of the previous
hack which spawned an instance of `gmake` (GNU Make) if installed to
perform the build.

b7f1103088 Silence directory change messages when calling gmake from BSD make
These messages are automatically generated as if `-w` were specified
at the gmake command line. The `--no-print-directory` option supresses
these messages.

40a90f1b2f Update BSDMakefile to force build of targets
.DEFAULT or .DONE cannot be set as .PHONY so this hack was required.

cc35241a6e Automatically pass build through to gmake on BSD
Smarter BSDmakefile that automatically calls gmake to build the targets,
even including `-j` if provided. README.md can be simplified to remove
`gmake` references from build instructions for BSD users.

d0071960b8 fixup! Include make [test|all|install] in BSDmakefile 2017-09-14 14:35:05 -05:00

9fd16d730b Include make [test|all|install] in BSDmakefile
If a build takes a long time, it's entirely possible to run `gmake` and
then forget to use GNU make and run `make install` after.

5b61829a33 Emit error and GNU Make directions when compiled with BSD Make
On BSD platforms, a BSD-specific BSDmakefile is searched for and used
before any generic Makefile. We can use this to emit an informational
message directing the user to use GNU Make instead of relying on the
user's recognizing of random build failures on syntax errors as a sign
to switch to GNU Make.

(Random fact: this same trick also applies to GNU Make, which searches
for a GNUmakefile before using Makefile)
