I've been having some problems with GNU make version 3.05. I have been unable to redefine the rule for making .o files from .c files. The following makefile works with the Sun make but the redefinition is ignored by GNU make. .c.o: echo xx The following makefile causes make to abort with a core dump. .SUFFIXES: .s .o .s.o: echo xx fred: where fred doesn't exist. In general, duplication of .SUFFIXES seems to cause core dumps from bus errors or segmentation faults. The following makefile causes GNU make to bus error. .SUFFIXES: .c .asm .o .SUFFIXES: .asm .o .asm.o: a20 $*,$*=$< .SUFFIXES: .s .s.o: $(AS) $< -o $@ base_name.o: I should be grateful for any suggestions. (We are getting version 3.09 and I'll see if that fixes these problems). Dave Allen Monotype International ADG Science Park Milton Road Cambridge
