OK I was able to recompile Make 4.1 from git, successfully, without docs/translations as you have suggested. However, there may be a problem with the tests. Here is what I did for the record:
install the latest version of gettext GNU package, in non-default location to overwrite the old installation same with autoconf >autoreconf -i got an error here: > configure.ac:45: warning: macro `AM_PROG_AR' not found in library > configure.ac:45: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_AR ignore the error and try it again (by mistake, but it worked) >autoreconf -i now only the warning, no error >./configure >make -C glob (this did nothing - "Nothing to be done for 'all'" >make make worked fine then I had to do this as suggested by an error message in >make check >mount /proc /proc -t proc >make check SUBDIRS= functions/file .......................................... *** Test died (functions/file): Opened read-only file! FAILED (4/4 passed) Should I ignore this failure?
