libgpg-error-1.4 Makefile on solaris sparc 9 & 10
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

Please indicate that poeple should use gnu make instead of the solaris make
because your Makefile is not compatible with solaris make. Also checking for
clock skews
on other then intel platform systems is not a good idea becuase those systems have
heavy loads & can have time syncronisation problems due to the fact that the
discs are usually mounted via NFS.

There is no need for GNU make with libgpg-error. Automake which creates the
Makefiles won't do any GNU make specific things. If it did, it is an automake
bug and needs to be reported to the automake folks. The next versions will

What do you mean by checking for clock skew?

I've found out the problem ... their was a problem with your configure
worked with automake but not with ./configure ....your configure program
has a error then because when I tried to configure with configure & not
automake it did need gnu make to compile otherwise it complained about
line 250 in the makefile being bad for some reason.
can't remember what exactly and will look it up.

Yes there is ...: Here is the reason why you need it for :

That is it gives me with Solaris make ...with gnu make it works
fine...dunno what it is but I suspect it is a
bug somewhere and I guess it could be in the Solaris make program...I
know it doesn't accept somethings
gnu make does accept.

Please quote the releavnt parts of the Makefile (+-10 lines). Makefiles are
generated at configure time and thus I can't see what's wrong. It might also be
useful to send the entire Makefile (use the File field to upload it).

The makefile looks portable to me. As there was no feedback for two years, I am
closing the report. Please reopen with more details if the problem persists.
