Description Takashi Sato 2008-06-26 06:04:28 UTC

How to reproduce:

1. download httpd-2.2.9 tarball
2. $ cd httpd-2.2.9
3. patch to avoid bug 44631
4. $ ./buildconf
5. $ cd ../
6. $ mkdir 2.2.9-build && cd 2.2.9-build
8. $ ./configure --with-included-apr
9. $ cd server
10. $ make export_files

tmp=export_files_unsorted.txt;  rm -f $tmp && touch $tmp;  for dir in /usr/home/takashi/development/httpd-2.2.9/include /usr/home/takashi/development/httpd-2.2.9/os/unix /usr/home/takashi/development/httpd-2.2.9/modules/http; do  ls $dir/*.h >> $tmp;  done;  for dir in /usr/home/takashi/development/2.2.9-build/srclib/apr/include /usr/home/takashi/development/httpd-2.2.9/srclib/apr/include /usr/home/takashi/development/2.2.9-build/srclib/apr-util/include /usr/home/takashi/development/httpd-2.2.9/srclib/apr-util/include; do  (ls $dir/ap[ru].h $dir/ap[ru]_*.h >> $tmp 2>/dev/null);  done;  sort -u $tmp > export_files;  rm -f $tmp
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/takashi/development/2.2.9-build/server.

"do  (ls $dir/ap[ru].h $dir/ap[ru]_*.h >> $tmp 2>/dev/null);  done;"
fails, then make export_files stops.

This is because of difference between FreeBSD make and GNU make.
Following Makefile fails on FreeBSD make, but successes on GNU make.

[tab]false;true

Noted; interesting analysis thank you(!)  Commenting so this pops to the top
of my bugzilla query for followup.

Has this been fixed in trunk?
I could not reproduce it in trunk,
