Hello,
I just tried to build wget version 1.7 on
an OpenBSD 2.7 machine.
I ran ./configure which went fine.
I typed make.
It compiled the stuff in src, and then tried
to make the documents in doc.
This is where the trouble started.
I get this error:
cd doc && make CC='gcc' CPPFLAGS='' DEFS='-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSYSTEM_WGETRC=\"/usr/l
ocal/etc/wgetrc\" -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\"' CFLAGS='-g -O2' LDFLAG
S='' LIBS='' prefix='/usr/local' exec_prefix='/usr/local' bindir='/usr/local/bin'
infodir='/usr/local/info' mandir='/usr/local/man' manext='1'
make: don't know how to make texi2pod.pl. Stop
*** Error code 2
Stop in /home/nestler/wget-1.7 (line 83 of Makefile).
I think the problem is that the target it is supposed
to find is for $(TEXI2POD) or
some such thing which expands to ./texi2pod.pl in this Makefile.
I don't know if the ./ is confusing make or what. I think so.
When I type in a line in the makefile with the name texi2pod.pl
(instead of the $TEXI2POD macro), make finds the target (but
then proceeds to have other problems).
Just thought I would let you know that the doc tree does not
make on OpenBSD 2.7 (it seems to be a problem with ./ in
make targets; not sure if this is indemnic to the make on this
platform or what).
