You are using an outdated version of gmake that has bugs that completely prevent compilation.
If you like to use gmake instead of smake, you need to use at least gmake-3.81 Older gmake versions completely ignore some make rules and this is what happened for you. BTW: the "problem" you mention is a social problem that was initiated by a hostile packaging maintainer from Debian who attacked the project, see: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/linux-dist.html for more information The OSS community unfortunately does not yet have a method to deal with hostile downstreams. If you like to get Ubuntu packages for the legal and working original software instead of the buggy and undistributable fork, you would need to contact Ubuntu and ask Ubuntu for fixing it's fault. I cannot understand why Ubuntu still distributes the unmaintained fork... -- icedax dies with buffer overflow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
