Description Georg Nikodym 2000-10-25 17:39:37 UTC

The following (from one of our Makefiles) no longer works:

	makedepend -fMakefile.deps -- $(CFLAGS) -- \
		foo.c

Instead I get:

(keller) 1032$ make depend
Makefile:76: Makefile.deps: No such file or directory
/bin/rm -f Makefile.deps
touch Makefile.deps
makedepend -fMakefile.deps -- -D__KERNEL__ -DMODULE -O -Wall
-I../someplace  -- \
	foo.c
Unknown option '-Wall' ignored
rm: unrecognized option `--.bak'
Try `rm --help' for more information.
cp: missing destination file
Try `cp --help' for more information.
Appending dependencies to --
?
/bin/rm -f Makefile.deps.bak
make: Nothing to be done for `depend'.
(keller) 1033$ 

I find that makedepend is now a script...  Hmm educated whim, if I add a
space between
the -f and the Makefile.dep things work.

I ran into this too.  Adding a space makes things work, but doesn't match the
man page.  The extra space works in the XFree86-3.3/RH6.2 version, too.

The -p option does not seem to be supported anymore.  This breaks my
multi-architecture build system (maybe I should switch to autoconf :).  This
worked in XFree86-3.3/RH6.2.

Asking upstream...

Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2001-04-02 19:20:51 UTC

Fixed in 4.0.3 in rawhide (actually it was fixed just after 4.0.2b was
tagged on March 13th).

I dunno about the -p one.  File a new bug report if it isn't fixed in
4.0.3 in rawhide.
