Replaced all occurrences of $(prefix)/doc in Makefile.am with $(prefix)/share/doc. However, now the make procedure fails: ===> Building for kaptain-0.6 gmake all-recursive gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/x11/kaptain/work/kaptain-0.6' Making all in doc gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/x11/kaptain/work/kaptain-0.6/doc' cd .. && automake --gnu --include-deps doc/Makefile cd .. && perl am_edit kaptain-0.6/doc/Makefile.in Can't open perl script "am_edit": No such file or directory gmake[2]: *** [Makefile.in] Error 2 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/x11/kaptain/work/kaptain-0.6/doc' gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/x11/kaptain/work/kaptain-0.6' gmake: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 *** Error code 2 The strange thing to me is that the Makefile.in is now changed. That is to say: I patched Makefile.am but both Makefile.am and Makefile.in are different than what they are if I don't apply the patches/changes. Although I now have an idea about how I got into this, I am not seeing clearly how to solve it. I took a diff from a Makefile.in of the unpatched sources and a Makefile.in from the patched sources, and got the following: --- prepatch/Makefile.in Wed Jan 16 19:57:53 2002 +++ postpatch/Makefile.in Wed Jan 16 19:53:43 2002 @@ -1,7 +1,6 @@ -# KDE tags expanded automatically by am_edit - $Revision: 1.165 $ -# Makefile.in generated automatically by automake 1.4 from Makefile.am +# Makefile.in generated automatically by automake 1.4-p5 from Makefile.am -# Copyright (C) 1994, 1995-8, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. +# Copyright (C) 1994, 1995-8, 1999, 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ... ... and lots of differences, including the offending line: ... -all: docs-am all-redirect +all: all-redirect .SUFFIXES: $(srcdir)/Makefile.in: Makefile.am $(top_srcdir)/configure.in $(ACLOCAL_M4) -#>- cd $(top_srcdir) && $(AUTOMAKE) --gnu --include-deps doc/Makefile -#>+ 2 cd $(top_srcdir) && $(AUTOMAKE) --gnu --include-deps doc/Makefile - cd $(top_srcdir) && perl am_edit kaptain-0.6/doc/Makefile.in ... This happens both using the ports Makefile and trying to build kaptain on its own (configure + make, without freebsd ports overhead). So clearly, the problem is that now that I patched the Makefile.am file, another automake is called somehow (???). Maybe the problem is restricted to my own setup? I've found both /usr/local/bin/automake and /usr/local/bin/automake14. However when running them with --version both print the same exact message: [root@pi] /usr/local/bin/automake14 --version automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p5 Copyright (C) 1999, 2001 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ... So I don't know where to look for the 'other' automake, the one with v1.4 but that lacks the (c) 2001.
