Top level "make" on FreeBSD fails to create lib/version.c from lib/version.c.in

[resuna]

There seems to be a build ordering issue or something.

$ make
Making all in build-aux
make  yuck-bootstrap
  CC       yuck_bootstrap-yuck.o
  CCLD     yuck-bootstrap
  GEN      yuck.m4i
  GEN      yuck.yucc
make  all-am
  CC       yuck-yuck.o
  CC       yuck-yuck-scmver.o
yuck-scmver.c: In function 'run':
yuck-scmver.c:296:2: warning: implicit declaration of function 'vfork' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

  CCLD     yuck

make  ltrcc
  CC       ltrcc-ltrcc.o

 #include "version.c"
                     ^

*** Error code 1

Then

$ ls lib/version*
lib/version.c.in   	lib/version.h

You'd think the "GEN version.c" bit would have DTRT...?

Ah, needs GNU make.

Hey Peter, that's a git build, right? Can you verify though that a tarball-build would indeed work with bsd make?

[resuna]

As expected, the tarball build v0.4.3.tar.gz has the same failure mode

ltrcc.c:54:21: fatal error: version.c: No such file or directory
 #include "version.c"
                     ^
compilation terminated.

gmake works.

Ah thanks for verifying. The tarball does work with AIX's make for me because version.c is already included and doesn't need regenerating.

Will have to fix this on a real BSD machine, I just hope it's not a timestamp issue or something.

Thanks for the report.

This is addressed in d34083e and should be fixed now.
