Hi All. As maintainer of the Hamlib project I am working on a reported issue involving the installed version of make in the distribution. I have verified the issue locally. The failure is:
Making all in src make[1]: don't know how to make ./hamlibdatetime.h. Stop make[1]: stopped in /home/larry/Hamlib/src *** Error code 1 Stop. Which doesn't leave a lot to go on. I've used various debugging queries of this make but it simply never processes the rule as near as I can determine. It's as though this make doesn't see a valid rule stanza. In our Makefile.am (https://github.com/Hamlib/Hamlib/blob/master/src/Makefile.am) there is the line: BUILT_SOURCES = $(builddir)/hamlibdatetime.h hamlibdatetime.h is also first in the variable that holds all of the source files for this directory. Further down is the rule: # If we have a .git directory then we will generate the hamlibdate.h # file and replace it if it is different. Fall back to a copy of a # generic hamlibdatetime.h.in in the source tree. Build looks in build # directory before the source directory for the hamlibdatetime.h # header. hamlibdatetime.h: FORCE @if test -x $(top_srcdir)/.git ; then \ echo "/* This date time is from the last non-merge commit to Hamlib. */" > $(builddir)/$(@F).tmp ;\ echo "#define HAMLIBDATETIME "\"$$(TZ=UTC git --git-dir=$(top_srcdir)/.git log --no-merges --date='format-local:%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ SHA=' --format='%cd' -n 1)$$(git --git-dir=$(top_srcdir)/.git log --no-merges -n 1 | head -n 1 | cut -c8-13)\" >> $(builddir)/$(@F).tmp ;\ diff -qN $(builddir)/$(@F).tmp $(builddir)/$(@F) ; test $$? -eq 0 || { echo "Generating SCS header \"$(builddir)/$(@F)\"" ; mv -f $(builddir)/$(@F).tmp $(builddir)/$(@F) ; } ;\ rm -f $(builddir)/$(@F).tmp ;\ touch -c $(top_srcdir)/src/version_dll.rc ;\ else \ test -f $(srcdir)/$(@F) || cp $(srcdir)/$(@F).in $(srcdir)/$(@F) ;\ fi snapshot_data.o rig.o: hamlibdatetime.h This all works as expected with GNU make on various platforms. Other than recommending GNU make to the reporter, is there something we're missing? I can supply the Makefile from FreeBSD upon request, if that helps. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
