Follow-up Comment #6, sr #110273 (project autoconf): > There's no 'gmake' on my OpenBSD 6.7 platform
It's part of the add-on packages. Here's my recipe to fetch it and a couple of other programs: # Install some packages. # List is at https://ftp.hostserver.de/pub/OpenBSD/6.7/packages/amd64/ # See https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html#PkgMgmt Edit ~/.profile to define PKG_PATH: PKG_PATH=https://ftp.hostserver.de/pub/OpenBSD/6.7/packages/`uname -m`/ export PKG_PATH Logout. # pkg_add bzip2 # pkg_add gtar # pkg_add bash # pkg_add gmake # pkg_add vim, pick no_x11 variant # pkg_add emacs, pick no_x11 variant > GNU Make sets MAKEFLAGS=w in the environment, and presumably this confuses OpenBSD Make. Indeed: The GNU make behaviour is explained in the thread starting at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-make/2016-03/msg00009.html . Whereas the OpenBSD make's interpretation of MAKEFLAGS is documented in https://man.openbsd.org/make . So, really, inside of GNU make invocations on OpenBSD, one should avoid invoking 'make'. > One possibility is that you need to be consistent about which 'make' you're using, e.g., './configure MAKE=gmake'. No, this does not help because tests/autotest.at lines 1938 and 1999 invokes precisely 'make', even it the environment variable MAKE is set. How about writing ${MAKE-make} instead? _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?110273> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
