Howdy all! I'm a developer working on netCDF, a freeware library for climate and Earth scientists. Recently I converted from our old time-honored and hand-crafted Makefiles to automake generated files.
But for some reason, using the automake generated files, dependency tracking no longer works. For example, if I do a make check, and find and fix a bug in one of my code files, and do a make check again, I get an error like this: bash-3.00$ make check Making check in libsrc make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ed/n3_tmp1/libsrc' m4 -B10000 attr.m4 >attr.c if h5cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -Df2cFortran -g -MT attr.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/attr.Tpo" -c -o attr.o attr.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/attr.Tpo" ".deps/attr.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/attr.Tpo"; exit 1; fi cc1: error: to generate dependencies you must specify either -M or -MM make[1]: *** [attr.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ed/n3_tmp1/libsrc' make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1 Then I have to do a make clean to get things working. Doesn't automake automatically generate dependencies? Or do I have to tell it to do so? What does this mean: error: to generate dependencies you must specify either -M or -MM Where do I specify -M or -MM? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! -- Ed Hartnett -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
