+<P>Interix comes with a BSD style make you need GNUmake.

+<P>If you are building for a machine without a network 
+card, you may want to check <A href="#win32nonic" ><FONT color=#0000ff>here</FONT></A> first. </P>
+<P>This port was built and tested under Interix 3.5. a.k.a. 
+<A href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/">Windows 
+Services for UNIX 3.5.</A></P>
+<P>To build follow the <A href="#unix_traditional" >Traditional ACE/GNU Make 
+Configuration</A> instructions replacing the following include directives:</P>
+<P><TT>#include 
+"ace/config-win32-interix.h"</TT> </P>
+<P>for the config.h header </P>
+<P>and: </P>
+<P><TT>include 
+$(ACE_ROOT)/include/makeinclude/platform_win32_interix.GNU</TT></P>
+<P>for your platform_macros.GNU file.</P>
+<P>ACE should build fine with just '<TT>make</TT>', the only other option&nbsp;tried thus far is 
+'<TT>make static_libs_only=1</TT>' which also works. Any 
+other options may not work.</P>
+<P><b>ACE TESTS</B> </P>
+<p>The tests are located in <TT>$ACE_ROOT/tests</TT>. After building the library, you can 
+change to that directory and run make: </P><code></CODE>
+<P><TT>% cd $ACE_ROOT/tests </TT><BR><TT>% make </TT>
+<p>Once you build all the tests, you can run <code>run_test.pl</CODE> in the <code>tests</CODE> directory to try all the tests: </P>
+<P><TT>% run_test.pl </TT></P>
+<p>If you are using ACE as a shared library, you will need 
+to modify your LD_LIBRARY_PATH&nbsp;as explained in&nbsp;<A href="#unix_traditional" ><FONT color=#800080>Traditional ACE/GNU Make Configuration</FONT></A>. </P>
