make 3.80 + patch 1517 : virtual memory exhausted

[Altmayer Régis]

Hi

 

I'm using GNU make 3.80 with patch 1517, on both operating systems Solaris 2.8 (uname -a : SunOS stbcompil1 5.8 Generic_108528-23 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60
) and Linux (uname -a : Linux nuxmg011060 2.4.21-15.EL #1 Thu Apr 22 00:27:41 EDT 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux)

 

With GNUmakefile (see attached file), it works on both platforms.

With GNUMakefile1 (see attached file), it works with platform Linux, but not with Solaris.

 

With Solaris and GNUmakefile1, I get a message :

make: *** virtual memory exhausted.  Stop.

The difference between the two makefiles (which contains the example supplied by the GNU make manual) is in the way to define the path of files; there seems to be a problem with long pathes with Solaris.

 

I've had a look to the savanah database dealing with make bugs, but I haven't found an other patch dealing with 'virtual memory exhausted'. Did I read badly (and if so, I apologize sincerely)?

 

Has this bug already been fixed?

 

Thanks a lot.

 

Regis
