Hi, (This is part of a collection of patches and workarounds I have for consideration for problems in the build process in current cvs. I'll just briefly describe each patch(-set) below, and if needed will put them into bugzilla separately with more details.) 6. Several Darwin quartz objects not being built when using GNU make-3.81+.

There is nothing in the log that shows these objects were built at all, period. To recreate: a) Build and install GNU make-3.81 release or from cvs/svn. Be sure to adjust $PATH etc. properly if needed. I'm presently using: $ make --version GNU Make 3.81.90 [...] This program built for powerpc-apple-darwin8.9.0 b) Build xf86 with latest XCode (Apple-provided gcc, ld, etc.). c) Possibly related env-vars: export MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET="10.4" export SDKROOT="/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk" export SDK="${SDKROOT}" ...and maybe others... $ gcc --version powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367) [...] $ uname -a Darwin <hostname> 8.9.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.9.0: Thu Feb 22 20:54:07 PST 2007; root:xnu-792.17.14~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc PowerMac7,3 Darwin (OSX 10.4.9 running on a Dual G5 2.7GHz with 3.5GB of matched-pair SDRAM and more...) Discussion: GNU-make versions starting with 3.81 (and still in CVS as I write this) do not see the rules for building .m files (Objective-C for MacOSX). This actually occurs on many different projects around the world (I first noticed on MPlayer). I don't know how to fix this in Makefiles; I don't see any indication that the make-devel list or their bugtracker even know about this problem, so I surmise we're not doing something right with the vastly revamped GNU-make versions. One must use Apple's provided gnumake (3.80) to compile these modules. So when using make-3.81+ and the build stops as above, I do this: $ cd [build/]programs/Xserver/hw/darwin/quartz $ gnumake $ cd [build/]programs/Xserver/hw/darwin/quartz/cr $ gnumake ... then cd back to the [build] dir and continue with using GNU make-3.81+ (which is named 'make', lives in /usr/local/bin, and $PATH hits it first). Thanks for any help. :) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
