I have a single copy of the source code, and I build in machine-specific subdirectories (using NFS). I have a "master machine" which has all of the tools I need; I build there first and then build on the other machines. One these other machines is an x86 FreeBSD-5.4 machine, and it has the stock 'make' on it. When I try to build on this machine (after a successful build on the master machine) make says that there is an out-of-date source file and tries to run some tools to produce the source file. This source file is present in the VPATH. The timestamps on all of the files are "correct". make says a file cannot be found and the file is clearly there. I'm open to suggestions on how to find/fix this problem. H
