Subject: iconv_open: non-gnu make fails to generate "iconv_open-aix.h"
Date: Sat, 24 Aug 2019 00:15:29 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ff3d123e-6ce8-0d3a-f45d-3fd0cf6de9f2@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

While investigating some other issue, I noticed that non-gnu make
fails to create 'iconv_open-aix.h' from 'iconv_open-aix.gperf'.

Perhaps this is a non-issue, and only gnu-make is supported
for this bootstrapping stage (and non-gnu makes are only supported
after "make dist"). Still, worth reporting.

To reproduce:

    ./gnulib-tool --create-testdir --dir=foo iconv_open
    cd foo
    ./configure && make   ## gnu make - works OK

    ## gnu make - the "-aix.h" file is re-generated without problem
    rm gllib/iconv_open-aix.h
    make

    # now try again with BSD make
    $ rm gllib/iconv_open-aix.h
    $ bmake
    bmake  all-recursive
    Making all in gllib
    bmake[2]: don't know how to make iconv_open-aix.h. Stop

    bmake[2]: stopped in /home/gordon/projects/gnulib/foo/gllib
     *** Error code 1

The 'bmake' here is BSD-make from the stock Debian 'bmake' package,
but the same happens on FreeBSD.
