I would kindly ask you to select one of the options provided below: OPTION 1: Append '|| exit' to the docscope/dogtags/xtags calls. RESULT: This produces more error messages than with the original script: $> make cscope GEN cscope ./scripts/tags.sh: line 140: cscope: command not found Makefile:1517: recipe for target 'cscope' failed make: *** [cscope] Error 127 $> make gtags GEN gtags ./scripts/tags.sh: line 145: gtags: command not found Makefile:1517: recipe for target 'gtags' failed make: *** [gtags] Error 127 $> make tags GEN tags xargs: ctags: No such file or directory Makefile:1517: recipe for target 'tags' failed make: *** [tags] Error 127 $> make TAGS GEN TAGS xargs: etags: No such file or directory Makefile:1517: recipe for target 'TAGS' failed make: *** [TAGS] Error 127 $> OPTION 2: Append '|| exit 0' to the docscope/dogtags/xtags calls. RESULT: Cleaner output, but still without suggesting the root-cause: $> make cscope GEN cscope ./scripts/tags.sh: line 140: cscope: command not found $> make gtags GEN gtags ./scripts/tags.sh: line 145: gtags: command not found $> make tags GEN tags xargs: ctags: No such file or directory $> make TAGS GEN TAGS xargs: etags: No such file or directory $> OPTION 3: Initial patch. RESULT: Cleaner output, but maybe putting too much infrastructure for checking against missing utilities? $> make cscope GEN cscope cscope - not installed? $> make gtags GEN gtags gtags - not installed? $> make tags GEN tags ctags - not installed? $> make TAGS GEN TAGS etags - not installed? OPTION 4: Something else? RESULT: ?
