Add .POSIX: target to specify POSIX make behaviour. Change directory variables from lowercase to more common uppercase variants. Replace GNU make wildcard and sort directives with list of include files. Replace install target's dependencies on GNU make specific inference rules with an install target that just installs all relevant files itself. Change GNU make-style inference rule "%.o: %.c" to POSIX make ".c.o:". Replace use of $^ in the library generation rules with $(OBJ). Remove use of $< in the pkgconfig file's build rule, as $< is only specified to be set in inference rules. Replace usage of install command (or locally provided script) with POSIX cp and mkdir. Remove install.sh. Don't set CC or AR, these are specified by POSIX as set by make when C development is supported. Remove call to ranlib, it is non-POSIX, and POSIX specifies ar as generating the symbol table when invoked with an option that changes the archive contents, which will always happen as the archive is removed before ar is called.
