Hi Werner,
having seen your recent commit to contrib/pdfroff/Makefile.sub,
i remembered that parallel build failures had been seen in the
OpenBSD port of groff-1.21, and with the help of build logs
provided by naddy@, i think i figured out what happens.
(If you need it, i can forward the build log to you.)
Some hdtbl and mom examples want PostScript formatting which
requires the DESC file to be ready; however, the top-level
Makefile.in doesn't currently enforce the proper order of
building of font/dev before contrib/hdtbl, contrib/mom and so on.
Given that font/dev and the contrib examples are in different
child processes of the recursive make system, it doesn't seem
possible to solve this using clean Makefile dependencies;
so i fear the order must be enforced by splitting the shell
command invoking recursive make in the top level Makefile.in.
Yours,
Ingo
