RE: [GRASS5] [bug #911] (grass) make Grass51 on Solaris8

Thanks for the quick responses. I installed the GNU make and tar as
suggested. When I use the GNU make (/usr/local/bin/make), I get
the same error message about Rules.make line 9.

I will install the experimental version of GRASS and try again.

... this can't work because GRASS 5.1 needs the *experimental* version,
not the preX. Means that you have to extract the CVS HEAD version
from GRASS.

Radim, we discussed the "make copymix" target. Will it solve the
problem when I update the grass51-snapshot script to run "make copymix"
to get a 5.1 version with required 5.0 code merged into?

Then: As Bernhard says: Please install the gnu make (and also gnu tar)
on your SUN. Especially the original tar from SUN is worst case stuff.

Cheers

Markus

This is strange. Changing grass50 version cannot help because
problem is in readin Makefiles by make. Because it always fails
on some special (?) makefile instructions (like expansion, string
substitution) it seems that problem is realy in your 'make'
Note that to run /usr/local/bin/make in grass51 top dir is not
enough, /usr/local/bin/make must be first make in $PATH because
it is called as 'make' in subdirs (should be probably $(MAKE))
