Dear Maintainer,
I tried to quickly package make 4.0 with dh_make, to test it, and found that the
packaging worked with GNU Make 3.81, but was broken when using the new 4.0
version.
Here is the end of the output of `LANG=C debuild -b' :
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/user/src/make-4.0'
dh_auto_test
make -j1 test
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/user/src/make-4.0'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'test'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/user/src/make-4.0'
dh_auto_test: make -j1 test returned exit code 2
debian/rules:8: recipe for target 'build' failed
make: *** [build] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2
debuild: fatal error at line 1361:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -b failed
dh_auto_test parses the output of make to check if a Makefile provides the test
target.
In version 4.0 of make, the output changed from
make: *** No rule to make target `test'. Stop.
to
make: *** No rule to make target 'test'. Stop.
Even if make 4.0 is not part of debian yet, I hope it will be soon.
The simple patch attached (hopefully) resolves the bug for me.
