$NetBSD: patch-config_common__make__rules,v 1.2 2013/11/18 02:22:30 dholland Exp $ Work around PR 48385, a tmpfs bug that combined with this package's build system causes gmake 4.0 to loop forever making depend. The problem in tmpfs, which assigns file and directory timestamps lazily and therefore frequently out of order, gets tickled because the depend file depends on the directory containing it. It is, in any event, almost never a good idea to depend on directories in makefiles. The workaround is to not do that and explicitly run a sub-make to create the object directory. --- config/common_make_rules.orig 2004-12-19 22:20:43.000000000 +0000 +++ config/common_make_rules @@ -188,7 +188,10 @@ ifdef ALL_DIRS done endif -$(DEPEND): $(SRCS) $(OBJDIR) +$(DEPEND): $(SRCS) + @ echo Doing implicit make depend. + @ touch $(DEPEND) + @ $(MAKE) $(OBJDIR) @ rm -f $(DEPEND) @ for i in $(SRCS) ; \ do \
