configure.mk bugs

by Brad Schick · in Torque Game Engine · 10/13/2001 (3:05 pm) · 4 replies

Nice to see the CVS server running. I've been waiting for CVS before downloading. I compiled everything with the VC6 GUI and it worked perfectly.

But when I tried the make file approach I ran into several issues. The first is that configure.mk has problems on Win32. They are:

-The line below does not work as expected
@echo ifeq \"$(BUILD)\" \"DEBUG\" >> mk/conf.mk
-I had to add platform specific quotes to fix the problem, not sure if this is the best approach.
-Spaces before line endings causes repeated calls to configure.mk to expand names "out" becomes "out " etc.

Below is a patch (from "cvs diff") with all of my changes. Most of the changes are subtle, like removing a space at the end of a line or before >>. I tested the changes on Win32 and Linux and they work on both.

I am now chasing down another problem with compiling the 'lib' directory.

Which version of gnumake were you using? Rick and I both develop using the makefiles and don't have any problems with them. I've also used them on my RedHat 6.2 box without any problem as well.

GNU Make version 3.78.1

I used the Win32 GNU tools the install docs pointed to. I may not have been clear about the problems. They only occur when you run configure.mk mulitiple times without manually deleting conf.mk between runs.

Also the line I noted in the original post does not even work on Linux. If you look at conf.mk you will find it produces the following text which I am sure is not correct.

ifeq "DEBUG" "DEBUG"

On Linux I have GNU Make version 3.79.1
