because amke on FreeBSD is not gmake.  So ther configuration file uses syntax
not understood by the system make.

I changed this and ended up with this error:

/lib/libincl -I../../compilers/fcompile     -c -o
../liblogical/pdf/process/pdf_barcode.o ../liblogical/pdf/process/pdf_barcode.c

This likely has to do with the fact that I have not installed libpdf because of
licensing.  I instead installed libharu thinking that this was a substitute for
libpdf.  Evidently I was naive.

What is the purpose of libharu if libpdf is required?  Is a commercial license
for libpdf absolutely required to have aubit4gl generate pdf reports directly? 
I can always pipeline ASCII reports through a post-processor but that is
somewhat fragile.
