--enable-verbose is messed-up in configure.ac it set VERBOSE to --enable-verbose -> YES --disable-verbose -> NO neither -> empty
and then VERBOSE is exported via config_host.mk But gmake and most of the rest of the build use verbose=non-empty/empty as a test typically $(if $(verbose)$(VERBOSE),<is verbose>,<is_not_verbose>)) some isolated place have a test of VERBOSE= YES/NO which conflict with the semantic of verbose all that being said... verbose=t make does also fails on Windows when ran at the top level, very early on while processing the Dep targets apparently.. make --debug=all did not provide much more info.. short of building a debug version of make and taking a core, it is hard to guess what is going on, but very likely some buffer overrun bug in make itself So.. don't do that.... do not use --enable-verbose (for the reason stated at the top of this post.. it is broken) and do not use verbose=t at the top level, it is really not that useful anyway, except to fill you disk with a huge build log) as it drown the ouput in tons of useless details if you need to get the command line, you can do that inside a given module for example if module foo is failing and you need to see the command then at the top level make foo.all this build foo and all the pre-req module for foo then cd foo and make there When one run make directly in a module directory the default is verbose... so no need for verbose=t make in that case Norbert _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
