Thank you Michael. Your questions lead me to see the error of my ways.
It starts with the fact that, while mesalib depends on host-makedepend, it does
the extract of mesalib before it does the install of host-makedepend. It just
saves the further steps in building mesalib until later.
The problem is that I had it run mesalib's autogen.sh during the extract. At
that point, makedepend doesn't exist and mesalib's configure fails. Why did I
put it as part of extract and not prepare? According to the notes I put in the
mesalib.make file, I was finding with it in prepare, ptxdist was attempting to
use the configure script included in the tarball (not suitable for cross
compile) before autogen.sh generated a new one. Now moving it back to prepare I
am not finding this to be an issue, so I am not sure what else might have been
wrong at the time.
Thanks again for your help and gaining a better insight into how ptxdist decides
when to do what.
Regards,
Steve
