I download the crash files from: https://crash-utility.github.io/

$ tar -xf crash-7.3.2.tar.gz
$ cd crash-7.3.2
$ make target=ARM64

Not reproducible at my environment. Can you please look into what is wrong on your environment?

[Davidrjx]

@k-hagio hi, i was faced with similar error, looks like

TARGET: X86_64
 CRASH: 8.0.0
   GDB: 10.2

make[5]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
make[5]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.

crash build failed

Makefile:234: recipe for target 'gdb_merge' failed
make[1]: *** [gdb_merge] Error 1
Makefile:229: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

kernel and distribution infos:

4.19.0-0.bpo.19-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.232-1~deb9u1 (2022-03-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux

debian 9

[k-hagio]

Is there any error that indicates the cause?

Debian has its crash, is there any helpful information for build? For example, https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/crash -> crash_8.0.0-1.dsc

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 13), dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1), quilt (>= 0.47), binutils, binutils-dev, bison, gawk, flex, zlib1g-dev, libncurses5-dev, liblzo2-dev, libsnappy-dev, libzstd-dev, texinfo

@Davidrjx I also got the same error. solution：make without -jx example: make target=X86_64 ---- build ok make target=X86_64 -j16 ---- build fail

[k-hagio]

make target=X86_64 -j16 ---- build fail

fwiw, the make -j option was supported at crash-8.0.1.

very nice

Hi, I met the same question too. The arch is ARM64: root@ft:~/kdump/crash# make target=ARM64 TARGET: ARM64 CRASH: 8.0.3++ GDB: 10.2

make[3]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. make[2]: *** [Makefile:274: rebuild] Error 2 make[1]: *** [Makefile:262: gdb_merge] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:254: all] Error 2

Maybe it only happen on ARM arch? My os is ubuntu, kernel version is 5.15.0, gdb 9.2

Thank you !
