Hi there
I just tried to port make-3.82 to
HP-Nonstop. I got it to work (almost) with the following minor changes:

Remaining issue is that ‘make check’
fails in the parallelism:
$ make check
…
check. features/parallelism .................................... Error
running /usr/local/Floss/make-3.82/tests/../make (expected 0; got 14):
/usr/local/Floss/make-3.82/tests/../make -f work/features/parallelism.mk.2 -j4
Caught
signal 14!
FAILED
(6/8 passed)
…
Running the tests manually shows:
$ cd tests
$ sh
work/features/parallelism.run.2
THREE.inc
ONE.inc
TWO.inc
ONE
TWO
THREE
Success
$
Looks like this is not the expected order? No
idea why that is though. It may have to do with the architecture of an
HP-NonStop machine, which is more like a cluster than a single (SMP) machine.
Any hints to get it to work are more than welcome.
Also I haven’t yet fully understood
why realpath failed the ‘make check’ step, when HAVE_REALPATH was
in effect, maybe our realpath() API behaves slightly different then the one from
other vendors. Disabling if as per the first chunk of the last patch is good
enough for me though.
I’d like at least the first two
patches and the last chunk of the last patch to get accepted into the make
source.
The second patch might need to go to the
autoconf folks too (‘configure’ is version 2.65), hence the CC.
Bye, Jojo
