After hours of frustration many of those RH/Mdk/RPM gcc users finally
here is a solution for the famous makedepend problem while compiling VNC
on Linux..
the error start when doing a make World on Xvnc as below
-----makedepend error--------
gcc: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations
make[4]: *** [include.o] Error 1
-----makedepend error--------
Problem : This problem has been caused by imake which seems to be buggy
but frequently thought to be problem with gcc installation, but it's
not..
Solution : Replace the shortcut "/lib/cpp" with the below
--------------------/lib/cpp-------------------------
#! /bin/sh
# First lets look if there is a file argument; otherwise we'll need to
instruct
# gcc to read from stdin.
got_file=no
for f
do
[ -f $f ] && { got_file=yes; break; }
done
exec gcc -E ${1+"$@"} `[ $got_file = no ] && echo -`
--------------------/lib/cpp-------------------------
Step used to compile successfully :
1. vnc_unixsrc# xmkmf
2. vnc_unixsrc# make World
3. Replace /lib/cpp with above and "chmod 755 /lib/cpp"
4. vnc_unixsrc/Xvnc# make World
5. Full build of Release 6.3 of the X Window System complete.
Finally thanks a lot to Const Kaplinsky for finding the problem cause
and doing lots of research on this problem to end this..
