Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.6
I'm building dpkg on a (yuck!) Redhat system, and get the following type of
error message from 'make':
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `archtable', needed by `archtable.h'.
Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/henning/agenda/work/y/dpkg-1.10.6/main'
make[1]: *** [all-main] Error 2
This type of error also exists for every subdirectory during 'make install'.
I'm using make-3.79.1-8 on Redhat 7.2.
The reason seems to be the order of defines at the top of all the Makefile.in
files. It currently is:
VPATH = @srcdir@
srcdir = @srcdir@
top_srcdir = @top_srcdir@
top_builddir = ..
default: all
include ../Makefile.conf
Which, on my machine defines top_srcdir to be "." (because it is redefined in
Makefile.conf), which is wrong. The fix seems to be to move the definition of
top_srcdir to after the include statement:
VPATH = @srcdir@
srcdir = @srcdir@
top_builddir = ..
default: all
include ../Makefile.conf
top_srcdir = @top_srcdir@
After applying these changes, the package builds. There is one more bugfix:
the man/pt_BR/Makefile.in defines a variable ptman8dir, but installs the
Makefiles to svman8dir - THIS SEEMS LIKE A GENUINE BUG. On my system, this
also causes 'make' to fail.
A patch file is included below.
Many regards,
Henning
