I believe that I have identified the bug. It is related to the new behaviour of make documented as * All pattern-specific variables that match a given target are now used (previously only the first match was used). What happens now is that in the file main/Makeconf.in and main/Makeconf.base there is a pattern
%.o: %.cc ; $(MKOCTFILE) -c $< that matches the cc files and overrules the corresponding pattern in the Makefiles of the subdirectories (that pass some extra parameters for instance). The file main/Makeconf is sourced from the Makefiles of the directories. I suggest as a workaround to delete the offending line in main/Makeconf.in and main/Makeconf.base. Moreover there are a couple of Makefiles in two subdirectories, namely extra/linear-algebra and main/splines where this line must be readded because they don't have one of their own, they relied on the pattern from main/Makeconf that we just deleted. With this three-line fix the package built fine. Best regards, Quim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
