[rabbitmq-discuss] problem with rabbitmq-server/Makefile

Wed Jun 9 22:18:02 BST 2010

Matthias,

I found the problem was that the current Makefile does not work with make-3.80.  Sorry i mentioned that i used make-3.81 in my first email.  Actually it was 3.80.
with 3.8.0, "make" does not work.  "make all" works.

output from make-3.8.0:
$ make
erlc -I include -o ebin -Wall -v +debug_info -Duse_specs -pa ebin 
erlc -I include -o ebin -Wall -v +debug_info -Duse_specs -pa ebin

$ make all
erlc -I include -o ebin -Wall -v +debug_info -Duse_specs -pa ebin src/gen_server2.erl
erlc -I include -o ebin -Wall -v +debug_info -Duse_specs -pa ebin src/delegate.erl

we are using RHEL4 which has make-3.80 installed.  Is it possible to change the Makefile such that it works with 3.80?
thanks.

I'm on version 3.81 too and this works fine for

Chances are the automatic dependency generation didn't work in your
