I used this trick with rather complex define/eval constructs It really works but sometimes gives me 'virtual memory exhaused' If you (Sam) are interested, I can give you precise example. If only I figured out how to work out this (endless loop?) my build system would be perfect =) Paul D. Smith wro

make 3.80 subscript error if environ has small string

2003-10-06 Thread Paul Eggert
GNU make 3.80 assumes that every string in the environment has at least MAKELEVEL_LENGTH bytes in it, and it executes a subscript error otherwise. Normally this is harmless, but Here is a patch. 2003-10-05 Paul Eggert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * main.c (main): Avoid potential sub

make 3.80 sprintf potential buffer overruns

2003-10-06 Thread Paul Eggert
I audited GNU make 3.80 for potential buffer overruns due to sprintf calls, and came up with the following patch. Most of the buffer overruns are fairly theoretical: they can occur only on hosts where integers are fairly wide. Some of them are more practical, though: they can occur on hosts that

Unable to build win32 GNU make-3.80

2003-10-06 Thread jgrant
Hello, Just tried to build win32 version of make-3.80. I had some problems with that though: 1. The build_w32.bat has a typo, + before the first if. This should not be there. 2. In the "NMakefile" $(MAKE) is used, which is in my environment to be set to gmake.exe, perhaps this NMakefile should

Hello, Thanks for the pointer [http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=1687&group_id=71]. Is there any plan to release a fixed version of 3.80? It seems like it is quite a while it has not been working. Is there a release Errata for GNU make? I think this would be useful if there i
