Hi autoconf community,
I am updating an Autotool-based code, that was for a couple of years
unmaintained. I first fixed all issues with Debian and Ubuntu, then I
fixed the macOS issues. Thanks to GitLab.com, I got a CI runner with
macOS and using autoconf from homebrew.
Unfortunately, I am facing in issue with dependency tracking:
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: error: in `/Users/gitlab/builds/alberta-fem/alberta3':
config.status: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments
for automatic dependency tracking. If GNU make was not used, consider
re-running the configure script with MAKE="gmake" (or whatever is
necessary). You can also try re-running configure with the
'--disable-dependency-tracking' option to at least be able to build
the package (albeit without support for automatic dependency tracking).
See `config.log' for more details
In config.log I see a couple of similar errors:
config.status:1976: cd alberta_util/src && sed -e '/# am--include-marker/d' Makefile | make -f - am--depfiles
make: *** fopen (temporary file): No such file or directory. Stop.
config.status:1981: $? = 2
config.status:1976: cd add_ons/libalbas/src && sed -e '/# am--include-marker/d' Makefile | make -f - am--depfiles
make: *** fopen (temporary file): No such file or directory. Stop.
config.status:1981: $? = 2
The error message is not useful, I am using GNU make from homebrew. Any
hints what I am doing wrong?
I introduced the error, but bisecting is a difficult task, as it did not
work on macOS for dozens of commits. But it has to do with some of my
changes and only occurs on macOS.
