I recently tried building chrony on FreeBSD 8.0 and it worked when the pattern rule "%.o : %.c" was replaced with ".c.o:". Otherwise CPPFLAGS were not used and the build failed. But I think it's quite common to use GNU make for building on BSD systems, it's available in the BSD ports as gmake. > > Or, if we support only GNU make, I'd like to add an -include .depend, > > so I don't need to spend time chasing weird bugs after changing one of the > > headers and not recompiling all depending objects :). > > Does anything like > > .%.d : %.c > gcc -MM $< -o $@ > > include $(addprefix .,$(OBJ:.o=.d)) > > work for other makes? On the FreeBSD system this produces "Error expanding embedded variable". The patsubst command doesn't work too. The correct syntax to include a file seems to be .sinclude ".depend" Which is not supported in GNU make and probably other makes. -- Miroslav Lichvar --- To unsubscribe email chrony-dev-requ...@chrony.tuxfamily.org with "unsubscribe" in the subject.
