Description Joe Orton 2000-11-20 12:06:29 EST

RPM build fails on Solaris 8 due to a lack of GNU make.

The generated Makefile's contain lines like:

librpm_la_DEPENDENCIES =  $(subst .c,.lo,$(DBLIBOBJS))

(from lib/Makefile.in)

The same will go for all platforms without GNU make, presumably.

Comment 1 Alan Cox 2000-11-28 12:42:00 EST

Install gnu make on solaris first. You will also need to build libdb1 and libdb3

Comment 2 Joe Orton 2000-11-29 04:57:09 EST

Unfortunately, this is not an acceptable solution: our customers do not have GNU
make and in some cases don't want to have GNU make.

Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2000-12-22 10:29:46 EST

Fixed in rpm-4.0.something, I fergit.

Comment 4 Dimitri Papadopoulos 2001-05-15 08:44:35 EDT

RPM 4.0.2 still needs gmake to build. Won't work with Sun make:

[...]
Making all in popt
make  all-recursive
Making all in intl
Making all in po
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 90: Macro assignment on dependency
line
Current working directory /home/papadopo/rpm-4.0.2/popt/po
[...]

Line 90 of popt/po/Makefile is empty and Sun's make has a problem with it:

all-yes: cat-id-tbl.c $(CATALOGS)
all-no:

$(srcdir)/$(PACKAGE).pot: $(POTFILES)
	$(XGETTEXT) --default-domain=$(PACKAGE) --directory=$(top_srcdir) \

Best regards,
Dimitri
