I have tested this patch on both AIX and Linux and am satisfied that it works as advertised on both platforms.

However, it is my experience that GNU Make is available and widely used on AIX machines instead of the vendor's make.

We can either
1) apply this patch to the source tree, trivially providing support for IBM's idiosyncratic Make syntax without impacting other Makes, or
2) close this as a WONTFIX and document the fact that GNU Screen is intended to be built using GNU Make

I contacted the reporter of this bug and he confirmed to use an AIX make. It is known to not understand 'ifeq' conditionals.

Attached is patch for confihgure.in and Makefile.in to avoid ifeq in Makefile.

On AIX only

0|pchenrmn@myhost src $ uname -a
AIX myhost 3 5 00CB083F4C00

0|pchenrmn@cdnbwsb1 src $ make
"Makefile", line 29: make: 1254-055 Dependency line needs colon or double colon operator.
"Makefile", line 31: make: 1254-055 Dependency line needs colon or double colon operator.
make: 1254-058 Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue.

Line concerned in osdef.h
 28 ETCSCREENRC =
 29 ifeq (${ETCSCREENRC}, )
 30 ETCSCREENRC=$(prefix)/etc/screenrc
 31 endif
 
Commented  Line 28,29 and 31, $(prefix) would be null if prefix was not set all the ways.

The commenting fixed that part.
