if you try to build with `make -j` it'll break for two reasons ... (1) the toplevel makefile's all target depends on 'dep' and 'do-all' ... if you build this in parallel on a fast machine, 'do-all' will start executing before 'dep' has finished processing, causing the build to fail. here's the small fix for that (i indented the 'done' to match the rest of the shell code): --- Makefile.in +++ Makefile.in @@ -25,3 +25,3 @@ -all: dep do-all +all: do-all @@ -61,3 +61,3 @@ # do-all goes to all subdirectories and does all -do-%: +do-%: dep @target=`echo $@ | $(SED) -e 's/^do-//'`; \ @@ -69,3 +69,3 @@ fi; \ -done + done (2) the doc subdir's all target depends on $(MANPAGES). the $(MANPAGES) rule executes a for loop on all the $(MANPAGES). the problem is that make will fork 5 children (1 per manpge) and try to execute the $(MANPAGES) target and each child will stomp the work of the others. the fix is to put all the manpages under one target ('gpm.man') and have all depend on that instead of $(MANPAGES). also, i moved the 'all' to the top so that way it's the default target when you run just `make`. --- doc/Makefile.in +++ doc/Makefile.in @@ -32,6 +32,8 @@ MANPAGES = gpm.8 mev.1 gpm-root.1 gpm-types.7 mouse-test.1 +all: $(srcdir)/gpm.info gpm.man + # HTML (texi2html) %.html: %.texinfo if [ $(TEXI2HTML) != "no" ]; then $(TEXI2HTML) $< ;fi @@ -55,13 +57,13 @@ $(AWK) -f $(srcdir)/mktxt $< > $@ # MAN (-) -$(MANPAGES): doc.gpm $(srcdir)/manpager +gpm.man: doc.gpm $(srcdir)/manpager $(AWK) -f $(srcdir)/manpager doc.gpm for i in gpm-root.1 gpm-types.7 gpm.8 mev.1 mouse-test.1; do \ expand $$i | sed s/^'[ ]*'//g > $$i.new; \ mv $$i.new $$i; \ done; - + touch gpm.man # DVI # This rule is somewhat a rewrite of texi2dvi.
