Hi Diego, Taco,
some parts of the TeX Live tree (libs/freetype2/ and libs/icu/ if I remember
correctly) require GNU make. Thus the TL top-level configure checks for
this and produces a warning (--disable-native-texlive-build) or an error
(--enable-native-texlive-build, the default). We think this is much better
than failing at a later stage of the build process.
If you have GNU make installed somewhere you should say
configure MAKE=/PATH/TO/GUN-MAKE ...
or whith the TL ./Build script
TL_MAKE=/PATH/TO/GUN-MAKE ./Build ...
I suppose, the luatex ./build script is a variation of ./Build, so this
should also work with ./build.
If you don't have GNU make you might try
configure --disable-native-texlive-build ...
but then the build may fail at a later stage.
This ought to be mentioned in TL's top-level README.config -- yet to be done.
