Hi, can anyone clarify the necessary Makefile changes to resolve the "Error expanding embedded variable" issue? I'm trying to compile the mdbtools ODBC driver manager from the master branch of the github project. After mdbtools-0.6pre1 release on Sourceforge, there never was an official 0.6 release (although there are reportedly bug fixes in the Sourceforge CVS). It seems mdbtools development then moved to Github (https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools) several years ago, but there never has been an official release since mdbtools-0.5 on Sourceforge (which the mdbtools port is based on). So, going on the thought that the latest was the greatest, and using the mdbtools github master branch downloaded 2 days ago (and following INSTALL): stumbo# ./autogen.sh . <snip, no errors or warnings> Now type `make' to compile MDBTools. stumbo# ./configure --with-unixodbc=/usr/local . <snip, no errors or warnings> stumbo# make Making all in src Making all in libmdb . <snip, no errors or warnings> Making all in odbc Error expanding embedded variable. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/home/dev/temp/brianb-mdbtools-ff251e7/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/home/dev/temp/brianb-mdbtools-ff251e7. stumbo# This appears to be the same issue Brian Seklecki reported having with mdbtools-0.6pre1, and solved kindly giving details, but what _exactly_ needs doing escapes me (this is my first foray into port and makefile debugging and I'm pretty much a noob at the whole process). Can anyone help with a pithy and quick solution, or even just clarify Brian's solution? My system is vanilla FreeBSD 7.3: stumbo# uname -a FreeBSD stumbo.ghostlytrio.local 7.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.3-RELEASE #0: Sun Mar 21 06:15:01 UTC 2010 root@walker.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 stumbo# pkg_info | grep libtool libtool-2.2.6b Generic shared library support script stumbo# pkg_info | grep automake automake-1.10.1 GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.10) automake-wrapper-20071109 Wrapper script for GNU automake stumbo# pkg_info | grep autoconf autoconf-2.62 Automatically configure source code on many Un*x platforms autoconf-wrapper-20071109 Wrapper script for GNU autoconf stumbo# Thanks, Dale
