John, I wasn't able to figure out what was wrong with the changer-src Makefile, however I was able to get around it.
My fix is rather unorthadox and not recommended and I have no idea what I might have broken or what now failed to compile so if you follow this bit of 'programming' you take your chances. The affected (aflicted?) section of code as diplayed via # cat -evt, because Makefiles are touchy about white-space uninstall-am: uninstall-info-am uninstall-libexecPROGRAMS \$ ^Iuninstall-libexecSCRIPTS$ $ .PHONY: GTAGS all all-am check check-am clean clean-generic \$ ^Iclean-libexecPROGRAMS clean-libtool distclean distclean-compile \$ ^Idistclean-depend distclean-generic distclean-libtool \$ ^Idistclean-tags distdir dvi dvi-am info info-am install \$ ^Iinstall-am install-data install-data-am install-exec \$ ^Iinstall-exec-am install-info install-info-am \$ ^Iinstall-libexecPROGRAMS install-libexecSCRIPTS install-man \$ ^Iinstall-strip installcheck installcheck-am installdirs \$ ^Imaintainer-clean maintainer-clean-generic mostlyclean \$ ^Imostlyclean-compile mostlyclean-generic mostlyclean-libtool \$ ^Itags uninstall uninstall-am uninstall-info-am \$ ^Iuninstall-libexecPROGRAMS uninstall-libexecSCRIPTS$ $ ^I^I^Ichg-null$ I was unable to figure out what was wrong with this code, specifically the error seemed to be on the line ending "distclean-compile \$" ...so I deleted the entire section ie the ".PHONY:" tag down to the next white line. Like I said, I don't know what I broke along the way, make run from the root ran to completion though. --- Brian R Cuttler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computer Systems Support (v) 518 486-1697 Wadsworth Center (f) 518 473-6384 NYS Department of Health Help Desk 518 473-0773 > John, > > Good news/bad news. > > I found that some of the files in the changer-src tree where > owned by someone else and I was unable to set the protections > from the non-priv account I was building from. > > Once that was corrected I was able to complete the build. > > Unfortunately I was able to reproduce the problem after downloaded > 2.4.4 (again, for some reason I thought there was an update) but > am finding that the original solution is not the problem but soemthing > else - I haven't had the time to unravel it but will try again in > the next day or so. > > I'll let people know what I've found out, even if its just me > being dense again. > > Brian > > > I am having the same problem your describe in the amanda user list. > > I looked through the archive, but could find no answer.
