[bug #16389] Defaults for Objective-C

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #16389 (project make): Perhaps it is time to consider forking GNU make? The current maintainer seems too busy to give it the attention it deserves, but appears unwilling to allow others to help. If we look at CVS, we see a burst of activity on March 19th, with a small f

[bug #712] GNU make can't handle spaces in pathnames

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #712 (project make): "How hard is it to handle quoting properly?" - impossible if we wish to maintain backward compatibility. As Paul said nearly 4 years ago, make works in terms of "words" which are whitespace separated. The quotation that starts this comment is viewe

[bug #15919] Make-3.81 rc1 hangs with -j 2 but not with -j 1

Follow-up Comment #15, bug #15919 (project make): If I take the current (July 4th 2007) sources of make from CVS (Paul has just updated the license to GPL 3), and apply my patch I get the following output $ make -j2 cp 1.a 1.b cp 2.a 2.b cp 1.b 1.c cp 2.b 2.c rm 1.b 2.b Note that there have bee

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #15919 (project make): Sorry J David Bryan, as you say there is no obvious way to edit comments once they have been submitted. I am just very frustrated with the current lack of progress with GNU make, and you caught me on a bad day. Looking over my current sources I s

[bug #15919] Make-3.81 rc1 hangs with -j 2 but not with -j 1

Follow-up Comment #23, bug #15919 (project make): Glad its fixed. Now all I need do is work on you to get a quick release out the door. I no longer have access to the codebase that provoked the original bug report, the company has gone "dot bust". ___

[bug #23928] Add MAKEFILE variable

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #23928 (project make): You probably want lastword, rather than firstword. ___ Reply to this item at: ___ Message sent via/by

[bug #15919] Make-3.81 rc1 hangs with -j 2 but not with -j 1

Follow-up Comment #26, bug #15919 (project make): Knut St Osmundsen, Your fix is similar to the one I mentioned in comment 18. Yes, the idea is that tests pass cleanly. I just assumed that Paul tested his fix against the test cases. I can also reproduce the problems with the INTERMEDIATE tests

[bug #15919] Make-3.81 rc1 hangs with -j 2 but not with -j 1

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #15919 (project make): I have another makefile which shows the same effect. I am trimming it at the moment, but things it has in common with the second makefile below is an "order only" dependency and a ".INTERMEDIATE". make -j1 works fine. make -j2 works fine the first

[bug #15919] Make-3.81 rc1 hangs with -j 2 but not with -j 1

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #15919 (project make): Here is the Makefile, stripped as much as I think I can. In particular if I change the intermed dependency on phony to be a normal one, rather than an order only one then everything works as I would expect. Run "make clean" (or touch src) to get th

[bug #15919] Make-3.81 rc1 hangs with -j 2 but not with -j 1

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #15919 (project make): Line numbers are relative to remake.c, version 1.130. The problem appears to be in check_dep. Stepping through the second and later times it traverses the graph, in the case where "file" has the record for "intermed". It increases depth, and marks

[bug #15919] Make-3.81 rc1 hangs with -j 2 but not with -j 1

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #15919 (project make): I have a fix, which works with the two Makefiles that are attached to this bug, plus my stripped down makefile, plus the real life makefile that it was stripped from. It also passes the "make check" stage. It also fixes another old bug. Paul, ho

[bug #15919] Make-3.81 rc1 hangs with -j 2 but not with -j 1

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #15919 (project make): This bug appears to be the latest incarnation of bug#3330. When that was submitted make didn't go into an infinite loop, but the makefile that was listed then caues make 3.81 to go into a loop. Attached is a patch which fixes the bug, and adds a

[bug #3330] gmake -j2 does very different things to gmake -j1

[bug #15919] Make-3.81 rc1 hangs with -j 2 but not with -j 1

Follow-up Comment #13, bug #15919 (project make): How much explanation do you want for a 1 line patch, which just initialises a variable? The way that make builds when it is in parallel make mode is different from the way that it builds when it is building sequentially. The bug manifests itself
