Hi. After `configure --enable-depend' I try `make' and got gmake[3]: Entering directory `/tmp_mnt/hosts/wisdom/NewSoftware/Ask/build/pgsql/src/backend/port' gcc -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -I../../../src/include -c -o ../../utils/strdup.o ../../utils/strdup.c -MMD cp: ../../utils/strdup.d: No such file or directory gmake[3]: *** [../../utils/strdup.o] Error 1 gmake[3]: *** Deleting file `../../utils/strdup.o' gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp_mnt/hosts/wisdom/NewSoftware/Ask/build/pgsql/src/backend/port' The reason is that gcc has bug (or changed feature) in determing there to put .d files: `gcc -MMD x/a.c -c -o x/a.o' puts a.d to the current directory if its version is `2.92.2 19991024', and in x, if its version is `3.1 20010430'. It is looks like the makefile assumes the new behaviour. (Actually, I guess, nobody faced the issue, because developer's systems has `strdup') It is looks like the following patch solves the problem: Index: src/Makefile.global.in =================================================================== RCS file: /home/projects/pgsql/cvsroot/pgsql/src/Makefile.global.in,v retrieving revision 1.123 diff -C2 -r1.123 Makefile.global.in *** src/Makefile.global.in 2001/03/10 10:38:59 1.123 --- src/Makefile.global.in 2001/05/08 10:07:30 *************** *** 367,375 **** # subdirectory, with the dummy targets as explained above. define postprocess-depend ! @if test ! -d $(DEPDIR); then mkdir $(DEPDIR); fi ! @cp $*.d $(df).P ! @sed -e 's/#.*//' -e 's/^[^:]*: *//' -e 's/ *\\$$//' \ ! -e '/^$$/ d' -e 's/$$/ :/' < $*.d >> $(df).P ! @rm -f $*.d endef --- 367,377 ---- # subdirectory, with the dummy targets as explained above. define postprocess-depend ! @if test ! -d $(DEPDIR); then mkdir $(DEPDIR); fi; \ ! if test -f $*.d; then dfile=$*.d ; \ ! else dfile=`basename $*.d` ; fi; \ ! cp $$dfile $(df).P; \ ! sed -e 's/#.*//' -e 's/^[^:]*: *//' -e 's/ *\\$$//' \ ! -e '/^$$/ d' -e 's/$$/ :/' < $$dfile >> $(df).P; \ ! rm -f $$dfile endef BTW: Is there documentation about build process (makefiles structure, etc.)? Another tiny (for quick computer) thing: is it necessary for `make distclean' to call configure, or something is wrong with my environment? And yet another: is it OK for `make depend' to produce gcc -MM -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wno-error *.c>depend analyze.c:14: postgres.h: No such file or directory analyze.c:16: access/heapam.h: No such file or directory ...
