Can't build on Redhat 7.0?

[Cameron, Steve]

Hi,

Been awhile since I tried building CVS....

This morning, I tried building the current development version on a Redhat
7.0 box..

"./configure" seemed to work alright, but "make" puked this way:

[scameron@zuul ccvs]$ make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/scameron/mycvs/ccvs'
Making all in lib
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/scameron/mycvs/ccvs/lib'
Makefile:272: *** missing separator.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/scameron/mycvs/ccvs/lib'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/scameron/mycvs/ccvs'
make: *** [all] Error 2

line 272 of lib/Makefile looks like this:
272: @AMDEP@@_am_include@ $(DEPDIR)/argmatch.Po
273: @AMDEP@@_am_include@ $(DEPDIR)/dup2.Po
274: @AMDEP@@_am_include@ $(DEPDIR)/fncase.Po
275: @AMDEP@@_am_include@ $(DEPDIR)/fnmatch.Po

[scameron@zuul ccvs]$ make -v

Seems to be some "automake" stuff, which I've never used before and
don't understand....  so, what new tricks does this old school dog need
to learn?

Cripes, if it won't build on linux, I dread to think what it's like on other

OSes nowadays.  But surely I'm just doing something dumb.

Thanks,
