I’m working on a hobby project of mine which requires Gnu Make 4.4. I am now trying to setup the project’s Travis pipeline on github. Travis, understandably, only offers LTS Ubuntu images and sadly Gnu Make 4.4 is not available on those images.
Is there any way, compiling from the sources aside, to install the said version on an Ubuntu image? Something like a PPA?
For posterity, I settled down on compiling Gnu Make 4.4 as part of the pipeline. It turned out to be a really quick step and not a trouble at all - takes 10-15s only!
On another note: thank you Gnu Make maintainers ❤️
