Installing NeoVim plugins via Lazy with "ifeq" in Makefiles

[ianmjones]

I'm trying to set up NeoVim on GhostBSD for the first time, having used my NeoVim config (based on kickstart.vim) on various Linux distributions (mostly) without issue for a while.

I'm seeing a few issues when Lazy is trying to install and configure various plugins that require building via a Makefile.

For example, the following error is thrown in Lazy:

Code: Select all

make: "/home/ian/.local/share/nvim/lazy/LuaSnip/Makefile" line 37: Invalid line type

When I look at the line in the Makefile, it is:

Code: Select all

ifeq ($(LUASNIP_DETECTED_OS),Darwin)

I'm guessing

Code: Select all

ifeq

is GNU Make syntax.

I see a few other things failing either in the same way, or without showing a reason, e.g. "json-lsp: failed to install".

Is anyone successfully using NeoVim with plugins managed by Lazy (and LSPs via Mason)?

Is there something I should add to my init.lua to make it use gmake for maximum compatibility with plugins that expect its syntax?

On GhostBSD, you have to use gmake to use the GNU Make.
