Hello, I'm trying to track down an issue in compiling 'autotools' packages that appears in FreeBSD-10 . (I'm not a frequent FreeBSD user, so it's possible I'm missing something - any help would be appreciated). It is my understanding the FreeBSD-10 switched to a different 'make' (bmake?), which could be the reason for these differences - but I do not know how to fix them. One symptom is that the following contrived 'makefile' works fine on Linuxes, but fails on FreeBSD-10 (or, put differently, works OK with GNU make but fails with bmake?): === all: non_existing_command ; true === On FreeBSD-10, the result is: === $ make non_existing_command ; true non_existing_command: not found *** Error code 127 Stop. make: stopped in /usr/home/ec2-user/bmake_differences === There is a mention on the make(1) man-page about the "-B" option, which hints that 'make' execute commands directly instead of using the shell - but using "make -B" did not fix this problem. For comparison, running this as one shell command does work (on FreeBSD): === $ sh -c "non_existing_command ; true" && echo ok non_existing_command: not found ok === But the 'make' behavior is more similar to using "sh -e": === $ sh -e -c "non_existing_command ; true" && echo ok non_existing_command: not found === This and few other issues arose when trying to build the canonical "GNU Hello" program on FreeBSD, cf: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hello/2014-03/msg00022.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hello/2014-03/msg00020.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hello/2014-03/msg00002.html Thanks for any feedback, -gordon
