i have had a lot of trouble using make on a sun4; it is currently using version 4.0 of the operating system. the problem is: all code is under sccs; make will not pull the header files as needed (eg. s.*.h). the makefile i'm using works fine on a sun3; but not on the 4. the default rule list on the 4 does indeed include no rule for getting .h files from s.*.h that i have found. to work around this, i've tried (1) including my own set of complete rules in my makefile (2) concatenating the sun4 default make definitions (/usr/lib/make/default.mk) and my makefile and specifying the -r option, and (3) using the rule list from a sun3 with my makefile and specifying -r on the make invocation. none of these attempts have worked. it almost seems to me that the sun4 is ignoring any user provided rules. does anyone have any workaround? thanks, sid s cowles att: +1 415 423 0929 lawrence livermore national lab uucp: {backbone}!lll-lcc!scowles environmental sciences division internet: scowles@lll-lcc.llnl.gov p. o. box 5507; L-524 livermore, california 94550
