Has anyone compiled mh for NextStep? I get piles of error messages like
Makefile:58: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.
when I run make. I tried setting options BSD42 and BSD43 because
NextStep is supposed to be compatible with 4.3. I'd appreciate any help.

Here's a problem I ran into when compiling mh, as well as the
solution, which may help someone else eventually. (I am amazed that
this is not a FAQ.)

When I ran make I got a dozen or so error messages of the form
: Makefile:<line number>: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.

Make (both gnu and berkeley) was barfing on lines that start with
"depends:;". I replaced the semicolon with a carriage return and
that fixed it.
