Build fails on OpenBSD 3.9/amd64 [SOLVED]

Hello,

I'm trying to install adesklets on my system (OpenBSD 3.9 / amd64).

Configure runs flawlessly.
Make command fails with the following error:

Code:

Using $< in a non-suffix rule context is a GNUmake idiom (line 337 of Makefile)
*** Error code 1

Stop in /home/zarfagon/adesklets-0.6.1/scripting (line 248 of Makefile).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /home/zarfagon/adesklets-0.6.1 (line 265 of Makefile).

Any ideas?

Thx.

The autotools machinery is more heavily tested on GNU make; since the first stop line was trimmed in the previous message, I have no way to know where the problem lies exactly... There is nevertheless a workaround: use GNU Make (invoking gmake instead of make at the top-level directory is usually enough). It is part of your port tree. Yours,

P.-S. OpenBSD 3.9 is not a supported platform right now, basically because I don't have a test machine with that system on to perform regression tests. I had adesklets working on OpenBSD 3.9 / i386 though, but it imperatively needs this patch applied to adesklets 0.6.1 source.

Thanks for your fast answer. I will check the patch + gmake and post the result here.

See you later.

Ok, after applying the patch and "gmaking", adesklets seems to run fine.

I managed to launch/register modubar.py and without problems.

Doing some additional testing....
