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.
