When running the GNU make 4.1 regression test suite on OpenBSD 5.6,
the final features/archivers test fails. This is a problem with the
test.
features/archives ....................................... FAILED (9/10 passed)
------------------->
*** work/features/archives.base.9 Tue Nov 25 18:53:44 2014
--- work/features/archives.log.9 Tue Nov 25 18:53:44 2014
***************
*** 1 ****
- make: Nothing to be done for 'default'.
--- 0 ----
<-------------------
Here's the respective archives.mk.6 makefile:
------------------->
DIR = artest
vpath % $(DIR)
default: lib(foo)
(%): %.vhd ; @cd $(DIR) && touch $(*F) && $(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $@ $(*F) >/dev/null
2>&1 && rm $(*F)
.PHONY: default
<-------------------
It is invoked twice. The idea is that there should be "nothing to be
done" on the second invokation.
The problem is that OpenBSD's ar(1) (GNU ar 2.15) skips zero-length
files. E.g.:
$ rm -f foo lib
$ touch foo
$ ar rv lib foo
ar: creating lib
$ ar tv lib
$
The other tests succeed because the touch() function from test_driver.pl
actually creates non-zero files.
With a change like the one below, this regression test will pass
just fine on OpenBSD.
