I've tried to build two different X packages, apparently developed in a
Sun environment, for use under SuSE Linux 5.3. The standard procedure
for doing this is to type `xmkmf', which uses the included Imakefile to
build a Makefile, and then typing `make' or `make all' to compile the
program from its sources. In each case `make' died on the following
complaint:
pwa@pleurotus:/aux2/local/packages/spider > make all
Makefile:381: *** missing separator. Stop.
The text at line 381 of the Makefile (for *both* packages) is:
ProjectUnsharedLibReferences(XSS,Xss,$(XSSLIBSRC),$(TOP)/exports/lib)
XXF86MISCLIBSRC = $(LIBSRC)/Xxf86misc
These lines are followed by several similar lines.
Since this seems to be a systematic problem, it probably has a
systematic solution. Is it just due to some difference between Gnu
make as used under Linux and the Sun version of make, I wonder?
Has anyone else encountered this? Any suggestions for what to do about
it?
