First attempt on macOS "fatal error: cannot compile make"

[genericptr]

I wanted to try pmake in hopes it could be a well supported build system for FPC. I didn't get far though. I cd to the examples directory and use the command below. Is that not how it's supposed to work?

examples$ pmake --compiler /usr/local/lib/fpc/3.0.4/ppcx64 .
-- Creating makefile
(1009) fatal error: cannot compile make
examples$

Admittedly pmake has still a lot to gain when it comes to verbosity and clarity in its messages. From what I see it could be that the issues lie with a not provided path to the PMake.txt file. Could you try $ pmake .?

The --compiler directive is optional in case you want to provide a different compiler than the one available from the command line.

Please also make sure you are using the v0.0.3 branch. A lot has been changed and improved in that branch and I am planning to merge this branch with master anytime soon.

Let me know how it goes. I will keep this issue open until then.
