The following reply was made to PR misc/4395; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au> To: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG, j@ida.interface-business.de Cc: Subject: Re: misc/4395: if exists(secure) in /usr/src/Makefile is bogus Date: Wed, 27 Aug 1997 00:23:37 +1000 >/usr/src/Makefile, and a number of other Makefiles contain constructs >of the form: > >.if exists(secure) && !defined(NOCRYPT) && !defined(NOSECURE) >SUBDIR+= secure >.endif > >If /usr/obj/secure does exist, but /usr/src/secure doesn't, the above >construct wrongly causes descending into the `secure' subdirectory. How would /usr/obj/secure (actually /usr/obj/usr/src/secure) exist? There are normally no program directories at the top level. The bug seems to be fixed everywhere except in ed/Makefile. Bruce
