I need Gnu make 3.90 or later on a Cray T3E (the installed version being 3.77). I have managed to build versions 3.80 and 3.81beta2 from source. The "configure" and "make" steps seem to proceed OK (with a few compiler warnings in the latter), but the resulting executable in both cases is severely non-functional: it fails *all* tests with "make check" and also fails to run a simple make file, printing the message
make: *** wait: Interrupted system call. Stop. make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
In each case the system command in question *has* run successfully, so it appears that make is misinterpreting its return status.
Suggestions are welcome. Details follow...
Details:
The systems "uname -a" is
sn6908 kupe 2.0.5.60 unicosmk CRAY T3E
I tried make 3.80 and then 3.81beta2 from...
http://make.paulandlesley.org/make-3.81beta2.tar.gz
...the latter being the latest I could find.
Commands to build & test were
gunzip -c make-3.80.tar.gz | tar -xvf - cd make-3.80 ./configure --prefix=$HOME make make check
The make-3.80 build generated a number of compiler warnings--I didn't keep a record of them. The make-3.81beta2 build generated just one:
CC-167 cc: WARNING File = function.c, Line = 1612
Argument of type "unsigned int *" is incompatible with parameter
of type
"int *".
fold_newlines (buffer, &i);
^
Total warnings detected in function.c: 1
