RE: make issues on freebsd
Thanks a lot. I got the gmake installed successfully. But now the issue is that when I run: gmake -f common.mak I get gmake: Circular common.mak - common.mak dependency dropped. How can I work around this issue (Regarding email being sent from microsoft.com, now I am emailing from hotmail.com as many were surprised when I was using the other id) Thanks a lot MOhammad Shaikh -Original Message- From: Bill Moran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 6:58 PM To: Mohammed Shaikh (Satyam Computer Services) Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: make issues on freebsd Mohammed Shaikh (Satyam Computer Services) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I tried exactly what you said.

Lucky for you, you're not the first person to have this problem, thus there are many workarounds. First off, I apologize, I forgot that gmake created such a large dependency tree. First off, if you have a FreeBSD CD, the required files may be on it in the /distfiles directory, and you can copy them from there. Otherwise, it's possible to install gmake from the packages collection. The easiest way to do this is to run /stand/sysinstall You can then choose to load the packages from a CD, or FTP (you might want to try FTP-passive) Once in sysinstall, go to Configure, then Packages and what you choose after that depends on where you want to try to get the packages from. If they're not on the CD, exit sysinstall and restart it, choosing FTP-passive. The gmake package is in devel section, same as in ports. If you don't see it in the listing, it's because it's not available on the media you selected. Exit sysinstall and restart, choosing a different media. I know it's on the FTP sites for sure, but you may have trouble accessing them. How and where I can get everything from, so that I can get this running. I AM NOT JOKING.

Are we supposed to be psychic? If you want us to debug your Makefile, you're going to have to show us your Makefile. However, are you sure you know what you're doing? What is this software you're trying to compile? Have you read the install docs? The syntax you describe is not typical at all, and is probably not right. What makes you think that gmake should be using common.mak? That looks like an included file to me (just based on the name). Most software from the GNU world require the following incantation: ./configure gmake gmake install -Original Message- From: Bill Moran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 11, 2004 6:58 PM To: Mohammed Shaikh (Satyam Computer Services) Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: make issues on freebsd Mohammed Shaikh (Satyam Computer Services) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I tried exactly what you said.

Then when you do make install clean you can be sure have all the dependancies. Two questions: Why are you doing a FBSD project on Linux in the first place?
