Re: [platform-testers] groff 1.23.0.rc3 with non-GNU make

[Bruno Haible]

On FreeBSD, NetBSD, and AIX, with the platform's 'make' program (which is
good enough for building many GNU packages, even as a VPATH build), I
get this build failure:

$ make
...
  GEN      font/devpdf/DESC
  GEN      font/devpdf/Foundry
make: don't know how to make ./shdeps.sed. Stop

The reason is that the Makefile contains a rule for 'shdeps.sed',
however, the targets 'chem', 'glilypond', 'gperl' etc. depend
on $(SH_DEPS_SED_SCRIPT), which expands to './shdeps.sed'.

Changing arch/misc/misc.am

shdeps.sed: $(top_srcdir)/$(arch_shdeps_sh)
->
./shdeps.sed: $(top_srcdir)/$(arch_shdeps_sh)

fixes the problem.
