When I try to configure and make install bash 4.4 as follows: $ configure --enable-static-link --without-gnu-malloc $ make install
I get: ( cd examples/loadables && make DESTDIR= install ) make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/tmp.I41FEP4JeE/build/examples/loadables' make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'install-', needed by 'install'. Stop. If I: $ cd examples/loadables $ make install I get: make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'install-', needed by 'install'. Stop. When I inspect the Makefile in examples/loadables/Makefile I see: install: install-$(SHOBJ_STATUS) I assume what is causing this is that $(SHOBJ_STATUS) is empty, and neither set to "supported" nor "unsupported". It isn't clear which is the correct value given my configure options, or what is causing SHOBJ_STATUS to be empty at this point in the build. Any ideas? Thanks, Andrew.
