Here I report the result of GNU make version check. I want to add note about the version of GNU make: "GNU make >= 3.78.1 is required, 3.80 or newer is recommended". If anybody knows any system that GNU make older than 3.78 is actively used, please let me know. Regards, mpsuzuki -- [check 1] The earliest gnumake on Mac OS X (10.0.4) was GNU make 3.79. I could build latest freetype2 on CVS by /usr/bin/gnumake, by setting GNUMAKE environment variable. If anybody knows different situation in "Mac OS X Server" which is released before Mac OS X 10.0, please let me know. [check 2] I tested GNU make since from 3.75 (released 10 years ago) to 3.79, by self-hosting on GNU/Linux. No cross build is tested. The result is following: 3.75 (1996-08-27) - failed in configure, as: $ ./configure --with-old-mac-fonts Makefile:32: /builds/toplevel.mk: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `/builds/toplevel.mk'. Stop. 3.76.1 (1997-09-19) - failed in configure, same with 3.75 3.77 (1998-07-28) - failed in configure, as: $ ./configure --with-old-mac-fonts FreeType build system -- automatic system detection The following settings are used: platform unix compiler cc configuration directory ./builds/unix configuration rules ./builds/unix/unix.mk If this does not correspond to your system or settings please remove the file `config.mk' from this directory then read the INSTALL file for help. Otherwise, simply type `make' again to build the library, or `make refdoc' to build the API reference (the latter needs python). /bin/sh: OBJ_DIR: command not found /bin/sh: OBJ_DIR: command not found Generating modules list in /ftmodule.h... /bin/sh: OBJ_DIR: command not found /bin/sh: OBJ_DIR: command not found /bin/sh: /ftmodule.h: Permission denied make: *** [$(OBJ_DIR)/ftmodule.h] Error 1 3.78.1 (1999-09-23) - no error, possibly ok 3.79 (2000-04-04) - no error, possibly ok _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
