Re: [gnome-db] Failling to compile source code

[Arthur Neves <arthurnn gmail com>]

Thanks Vivien.

Turns out, I was looking at the wrong Makefile. I realized that the main make file runs make recursive in all dirs, so I saw this on the output , right before the error:

Making all in help

Makefile:660: *** missing separator.  Stop.

make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

You can see it says, making all in help. So I opened up the file tools/browser/help/Makefile, and found the problem:

.PRECIOUS: Makefile

@YELP_HELP_RULES@

# Tell versions [3.59,3.63) of GNU make to not export all variables.

# Otherwise a system limit (for SysV at least) may be exceeded.

.NOEXPORT:

After removing `@YELP_HELP_RULES `, I was able to pass the make error. Why is that happening, any fix I could provide?

Thanks

Hi!

I could not identify any problem (but I don't have any OSX system either)... Just to be on the safe side, can you make sure the "make" command is actually GNU's make version (use make -v).

Otherwise,
In the meanwhile (till a solution is found), to actually be able to compile, I guess you can safely try to edit the Makefile and remove lines 660 to 672 included and run make again.

Vivien

Follow a link with the entire generated Makefile, https://gist.github.com/arthurnn/008fa31bbe2e21d867aa

thanks

Could you post the Makefile from the failing directory?
