I wish I had time to deal with this, as I'd post a bug fix and
not just a complaint, but other projects have priority.. Anyway,
compiling the X toolkit widgets with GNU Make, I ran into the
following Highly Odd Behaviour:
meepmeep-> make
rm -f Error.o
cc -c -O -I. -I../.././lib/X -I../../. -I../.././X11 -I/usr/include/bsd -fT -DPC
S -I/usr/include/bsd -I/usr/include/bsd -DERRORDB=\"/usr/lib/X11.3/XtErrorDB\"
.c
rm -f Initialize.o
cc -c -O -I. -I../.././lib/X -I../../. -I../.././X11 -I/usr/include/bsd -fT -DPC
S -I/usr/include/bsd -I/usr/include/bsd -DXAPPLOADDIR=\"/usr/lib/X11.3/app-def
aults/\" .c
rm -f libXt.a
ar clq libXt.a Alloc.o ArgList.o Callback.o CompObj.o Composite.o Constraint.o C
onvert.o Converters.o Core.o Create.o Destroy.o Display.o Error.o Event.o GCMana
ger.o Geometry.o Initialize.o Intrinsic.o Manage.o NextEvent.o Object.o Popup.o
RectObj.o Resources.o Selection.o Shell.o TMparse.o TMstate.o Vendor.o WindowObj
.o
ar: Error.o cannot open
ar: Initialize.o cannot open
make: *** Deleting file `libXt.a'
As you can see, the Initialize.o and Error.o targets somehow had the
names of their .c files stripped (why the C compiler didn't just
blow up at that point, I have yet to determine. There is no file
named ".c"). When I used /bin/make (ordinary boring sys V make)
I got the correct:
meepmeep-> /bin/make
rm -f Error.o
cc -c -O -I. -I../.././lib/X -I../../. -I../.././X11 -I/usr/include/bsd
-fT -DPCS -I/usr/include/bsd -I/usr/include/bsd -DERRORDB=\"/usr/lib/X11.3/XtE
rrorDB\" Error.c
rm -f Initialize.o
cc -c -O -I. -I../.././lib/X -I../../. -I../.././X11 -I/usr/include/bsd
-fT -DPCS -I/usr/include/bsd -I/usr/include/bsd -DXAPPLOADDIR=\"/usr/lib/X11.3
/app-defaults/\" Initialize.c
rm -f libXt.a
ar clq libXt.a Alloc.o ArgList.o Callback.o CompObj.o Composite.o C
onstraint.o Convert.o Converters.o Core.o Create.o Destroy.o Display.o Er
ror.o Event.o GCManager.o Geometry.o Initialize.o Intrinsic.o Manage.o Ne
xtEvent.o Object.o Popup.o RectObj.o Resources.o Selection.o Shell.o TMpa
rse.o TMstate.o Vendor.o WindowObj.o
/bin/true libXt.a
Why is this?
