Doh! One thing goes wrong and I forget how to read. :-(
Okay, I've got a make 3.81beta1 now. Here's how I did it:
cvs co make
* touch README
* touch build.sh.in
autoreconf -i -s
./configure
* make DEP_FILES=/dev/null
make check
make install
The lines with asterisks are the unusual ones. I needed to define
DEP_FILES because of this rule:
.dep_segment: Makefile.am maintMakefile $(DEP_FILES)
cat $(DEP_FILES) \
| sed -e '/^[^:]*\.[ch] *:/d' \
-e 's, /usr/[^ ]*,,g' \
-e 's, $(srcdir)/, ,g' \
-e '/^ \\$$/d' \
> $@
For my build DEP_FILES was empty so the cat hung.
Thanks for all the help!
