Dear Mr. Fink, I can confirm that you should use gmake when not on a Linux box.
The Gnu make tool distributed with Linux has some differences from the BSD derived Make tool which is shipped with Solaris and *BSD. gmake makes it work. The --with-mysql should also work without specifying the path, since configure will look for it itself in your path and in ldconf (-lmysqlclient test) I do not think thats all theres to gmake is a symbolic link! But ok, if thats what you find in your system... Make and Gmake *are* different in the internal "make" language, regarding some different constructs and also about some of the logics inside the language (if-then-else...). Hope this helps, Kind regards, Bernino Lind -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Stipe Tolj Sent: 17. januar 2002 16:10 To: Andreas Fink Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: if make fails, try gmake Andreas Fink wrote: > > Hi folks, > > I'm trying to compile kannel on a solaris 8 machine (SunOS 5.8) to > see if I can reproduce the mutex problem I often run into.
