Hi,
Regarding building lesstif-0.79 from sources: make depend won't work
I recently triend 'make depend' on FreeBSD 2.2.2, and I was getting
messages like 'srcdir: not found', but meanwhile, srcdir=. was at the top
of the maakefile.
I think where this was conking out was where $(srcdir) was nested inside
another ${ .... $(srcdir)$.c }, etc., in the lib/Xm subdirectory. I think
this may be because BSD make doesn't handle nested variables as well as
GNU make. I think the only solution would be to download GNU make and
install it as gmake to differentiate it from the make on my system.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Donn
