https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=229676 Summary: GNU Make 3.81 is too buggy for real life Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: pth@novell.com ReportedBy: sergstesh@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de I am compiling a lot of targets in the framework of my http://appsfromscratch.berlios.de/ project, and until recently I was working on Mandriva 2006. After switching to SUSE 10.2 I've discovered that for at least two targets stock 'make' which is GNU Make 3.81 is not good. 'make' just got stuck in 'make test' for Gnome2 target (Perl module) and 'make' couldn't complete building autogen-5.8.7 - in this case there was a screen looking like register dump for a fraction of second, so I'm not sure what it was. Anyway, I reverted to GNU Make 3.80 using my tool, and I was able to complete both Gnome2 and autogen-5.8.7. If you are interested, I can upload the most up to date yet unreleased version of my tool, so you'll be able to reproduce the failures. The tool is easy to use, for example, autogen was built using ~/AppsFromScratch/20061104/bin/build.pl -make_like -check_with_ldd -targets_to_build autogen > & ! build.log & command line. In any case, my tool builds and installs everything locally, not requiring root permissions, so even when 'make' is built, local copy is used.
