Compile amanda 2.4.2. :-( [Ref. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=23328 -- seems that some Makefiles created by automake (which the amanda folks use) get created in a way that cause our make to behave in unexpected ways. I was able to generate a simpler test case that re-creates the problem (and it's in the PR), but have no fix, nor is it likely I will be able to devote the time required to become familiar enough with make's internals to get much of a clue anytime soon, unfortunately. I expect to be able to help test, though, and am quite willing to do that.] Cheers, david -- David Wolfskill dhw@whistle.com UNIX System Administrator Desk: 650/577-7158 TIE: 8/499-7158 Cell: 650/759-0823 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
