Hi, I've been off this list for a couple of years, so I'm not sure if this should have gone to bugzilla. In any case, I must be missing something obvious trying to recompile current CVS (freshly downloaded lyx-devel). It seems the most recent change to Makefile.am and config/common.am breaks things for me.
Current CVS uses a Makefile conditional of the form: (example from main Makefile) -- snip -- @[EMAIL PROTECTED] = @[EMAIL PROTECTED] \ development intl po boost src sourcedoc lib @[EMAIL PROTECTED] = @[EMAIL PROTECTED] \ development intl po src sourcedoc lib -- snip -- My make (GNU 3.79.1) doesn't seem to support this syntax, which results in such lines being taken literally (no conditional), as opposed to the intended effect: SUBDIRS = config development intl po boost src sourcedoc lib Since this SUBDIRS variable (which controls the main recursion) is not set, running make accomplishes nothing. The same problem occurs with the BOOST_INCLUDES variable (see config/common.am), and breaks compilation since the compiler can't find the boost include files. Reverting both Makefile.am and config/common.am to their next-to-last versions solves the problem. Do I need to replace my make utility? Thanks, Lior (System info:) RH Linux 7.3 Autoconf version 2.13 automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p5 GNU Make version 3.79.1 GCC version 3.1
