BSD make: strange issue [message #20722]

I was trying to enhance src version to build with (PC-)BSD and encountered this strange issue:

make: don't know how to make ide/app.tpp/Aboutn-us.tppi. Stop
*** Error code 2

The offending line is obviously:

      ide/app.tpp/About$$en-us.tppi \

Now it looks like BSD make for whatever reason interprets "$$e" as empty string. That is weird, as '$$' should be escape sequence for '$', even according to BSD make manual page.

Does anybody know what is going on now here? Is there any other way how to escape '$'?

Hi Mirek,

try to build with gmake (should already be installed).
At least I use it for the FreeBSD port to avoid bothersome errors.

Have you tried to enclose the filename in single quotes to prevent expansion (i;e. '<filename>') ?

Well, there is unfortunate thing about make/gmake - gmake is not available (as command) in Linux and we need to use it in "top" makefile (see src package for details).

Any idea?

I remember that I used $(MAKE) inside top Makefile for 2008.1 release. This seems to be set accordingly if gmake is invoked on top Makefile (on FreeBSD). I am not sure about that, but I will investigate soon. Maybe this is also a define used by ports infrastructure only.

If it is not defined automatically one can call "make MAKE=gmake" or maybe use a wrapper script to do this Wink

(there we are ones again using shell scripts).

By the way, can you adapt Makefile export to scheme that is used for 2008.1 release that uses some variable assignments to set up commands etc.?

It should be basically the same, I have only changed it to use relative paths....

Replace all 'make' calls inside small Makefile with $(MAKE), I am quite sure that 'gmake' is also called if you invoke make process with 'gmake'.

Well, actually, I am now considering that we should replace Makefile with "install" script...

Well, a new issue:)

How to deal with -lld?

I mean, it says it cannot find ld...

I never saw that on the command line.
Do you mean -ldl?

Yes, sorry.

Now I see that FREEBSD does not have it (in package organizer).

I guess dlopen (etc.) is in standard library.

Yes it is included in libc:

I tried to use $(MAKE) in a test makefile and it seems to be defined accordingly as gmake or make (depends on what is called).
Tested platforms:
- FreeBSD
- Linux (Ubuntu)
- OpenBSD
