📄 Description

The syntax of the gitea Makefile is not platform-agnostic and is
specific to the GNU version of make. BSD platforms such as FreeBSD
ship with bmake (BSD make) as their default make program; attempting
to compile gitea by simply executing make causes a wall of errors to
show as a result of syntax incompatible with BSD make.

If a file named BSDmakefile is present, bmake will give it
preference over a generic Makefile. This BSDmakefile is taken from
the BSD-licensed gmake-proxy project, which transparently proxies
all make commands to gmake (GNU make) on systems where bmake is
the default, and if gmake is not installed an error message is
displayed.
