Hi All,
I always break because of the error when build on Windows XP. I
mentioned before, nobody responsed on it. I did a little search and
found someone also encountered the problem. I still have no clue how
to resolve it.
JunitTest_framework_unoapi.mk:28: *** Malformed target-specific
variable definition. Stop.
To continue my build, I have to remove the lines related to Junitest.
There are several module with the same error. It's annoying to
workaround them all. Could anybody help me?
Thanks.
What version of GNU Make do you use? 3.82 has a bug that let GNU Make
spit out this error even if the variable definition is OK (and is
parsed without problems by 3.81).
I have run into this issue also on Win7. Cygwin has a current version
of 3.82.90 (thus hitting 3.82 'bug').
What is the best way to deal with this? Is this something that is
considered a bug by gmake, or is this a regression that will continue?
(it involves 'make -r' not working correctly and I guess does look like
a regression - not a new feature)
If we can move to a new syntax, without breaking any other platforms,
but also using current Cygwin packages - would that would be the best
solution?
For now I will switch the instructions for the buildbot, call out the
use of make 3.81-2 (which is also available in current Cygwin).
At this point, this seems to be a solution for the build.
