We are compiling on an IBM-AIX5.2 host using the GNU 3.3.2 compiler. The problem we are seeing is that when there is an erroneous directory name (typo) in one of the top level makefiles, the compile spawns many make -w install processes and just keeps on going. We end up out of processes for the user account and have to go in and kill all the make -w install processes.
Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide. Barbara This is the error where the typo occurrs: ################################################## # Making install in tpMtsRec ################################################## /bin/sh: tpMtsRec: not found. make[2]: Entering directory `/vobs/ARCV/ARCV-6.DB2/ARCHIVE/bin' This is an example of a make install showing flags,etc. that we are using ################################################## # Making install in cvCrippledStatementDB ################################################## make[2]: Entering directory `/vobs/ARCV/ARCV-6.DB2/CV/lib/cvCrippledStatementDB' g++ -I. -Ipowerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0 -I/build/ARCV-6.DB2/ARCV/include/powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0 -I/build/ARCV-6.DB2/CV/include/powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0 -I/sqllib/public -I/precomp/public -D_LINUX_SOURCE_COMPAT -DSVR4 -D_ALL_SOURCE -D_AIX_TIRPC -DAIX -mcpu=powerpc -I/build/ARCV-6.DB2/ARCV/include -I/pub/informix/powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/include -DOS=powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0 -ggdb -W -Wall -Winline -Wpointer-arith -Wconversion -Wcast-align -mcpu=powerpc -c CrippledData.cc -o powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/CrippledData.o CrippledData.cc: In member function `int CrippledJob::add_record(char*, int, int, int, char*)': CrippledData.cc:180: warning: int format, long int arg (arg 6) CrippledData.cc:203: warning: int format, long int arg (arg 6) CrippledData.cc: In member function `int CrippledJob::delete_record(char*, int, int, int, char*)': CrippledData.cc:253: warning: int format, long int arg (arg 6) ar rv powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/libcvCrippledStatementDB.a powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/CrippledData.o ar: Creating an archive file powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0 /libcvCrippledStatementDB.a. a - powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0/CrippledData.o /pub/GNU/bin/install -c -m 664 powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0 /libcvCrippledStatementDB.a /build/ARCV-6.DB2/CV/lib/powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0.0 make[2]: Leaving directory `/vobs/ARCV/ARCV-6.DB2/CV/lib/cvCrippledStatementDB' _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
