Hello. CRUX-Linux did not yet update make to 4.4; one of the project leaders said
13:23 < jue> stenur: building of s-mail is broken with make 4.4 13:23 < jue> ... glibc as well When looking into this now for my s-nail MUA i saw #?0|kent:s-nail-14.9.24$ ../make-4.4/make all -j4 ... All good ... #?0|kent:s-nail-14.9.24$ make distclean make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/x/s-nail-14.9.24/.obj' make[1]: *** Cannot open jobserver /tmp/GMfifo31074: No such file or directory. Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory '/tmp/x/s-nail-14.9.24/.obj' make: *** [makefile:40: distclean] Error 2 It seems GNU make now embeds volatile information into $MAKEFLAGS, but refrains from working if that is invalid. I see NEWS is saying You can force GNU Make to use the simple pipe-based jobserver (perhaps if you are integrating with other tools or older versions of GNU Make) by adding the '--jobserver-style=pipe' option to the command line of the top-level invocation of GNU Make, or via MAKEFLAGS or GNUMAKEFLAGS. To detect this change search for 'jobserver-fifo' in the .FEATURES variable. but this requires changes to the build system, and a new release. I wonder, or, to be honest, it is my opinion that GNU make should reset this part of MAKEFLAGS in at least the ENOENT case? A nice sunday i wish.
