Clean build aborts in PERL2ARB

[guest]

The first "make all" on a clean arbsrc.tgz aborts in the directory PERL2ARB

make -f Makefile.old clean > /dev/null 2>&1

/bin/sh -c true

Running make all a second time succeeds.

• @Kai: your error has to do with $_ in the perl call. Somehow it is interpreted by make or the shell. I get the same error when I change '$$_' into '$_'. Could you please try whether changing double to single quotes fixes the for you?

[baderk]

@Ralf: make all (clean checkout) succeeds if I change double to single quotes. A non-blocker is produced by rm having problems removing a file:

Replying to baderk:

A non-blocker is produced by rm having problems removing a file:

rm blib/arch/auto/ARB/ARB.so rm: Entfernen von „blib/arch/auto/ARB/ARB.so“ nicht möglich: No such file or directory make[1]: [blib/arch/auto/ARB/ARB.so] Fehler 1 (ignoriert)

Such "errors" are ok. Here it's necessary for "non-first" compilations, where the file is present and has to be removed. Otherwise an out-of-date version may remain in case of error. (Alles voll IMO)

• @Elmar: I can't find any clue why Makefile.old gets used in your case. The only occurrance seems to be target 'clean' in PERL2ARB/Makefile.main.
  • Could you please post a bigger part of the build log here?
  • I tried make links perl from ​http://download.arb-home.de/latest_build/2007_10_29/arbsrc.tgz - works

• most likely fixed by hack [5778]
