Hello, There was an issue with syntax-check on FreeBSD reported a few years ago: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-August/msg00758.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2015-08/msg00019.html
The patch series attempts to resolve the issue on gnulib side. With related changes on libvirt side I can run make syntax-check on macOS. * modules/maintainer-makefile (configure.ac): Look for the best available ggrep or grep with AC_PROG_GREP. * top/maint.mk: Split long argument lists with xargs. Replace grep invocations with $(GREP). v1: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2018-11/msg00069.html Changes since v1: - removed VC_ARG_MAX - removed "-n" flag in xargs invocations - added /dev/null as an extra file for uniform grep output regardless of number of files. The file isn't added if grep invocation has "-L" flag - added dependency on AC_PROG_GREP to modules/maintainer-makefile -- Best regards, Roman Roman Bolshakov (2): maint.mk: Split long argument lists maint.mk: Replace grep with $(GREP) modules/maintainer-makefile | 1 + top/maint.mk | 145 ++++++++++++++++++++---------------- 2 files changed, 81 insertions(+), 65 deletions(-) -- 2.17.2 (Apple Git-113)
