Build problems with make 3.81rc2

19 Jun 2006

      Hi people!

With "GNU Make 3.81rc2" and "GNU sed version 4.1.4" from Debian
testing, I get an error with the following entries in
l4/tool/gcc-wrap/Makefile:

$(SYSTOOLS): %.$(SYSTEM): %.in .general.d
        @$(GEN_MESSAGE)
        $(VERBOSE)sed '\
        s,@system@,$(SYSTEM),g;\
        s,@ar@,$(AR),g;\
        s,@nm@,$(NM),g;\
        s,@ranlib@,$(RANLIB),g;\
        s,@cc@,$(CC_$(DEFAULT_ARCH)),g;\
        s,@cxx@,$(CXX_$(DEFAULT_ARCH)),g;\
        s,@l4dir@,$(absfilename $(L4DIR)),g;\
        s,@dropsdir@,$(DROPS_STDDIR),g;\
        s,@compilerincdir@,$(GCCDIR_$(DEFAULT_ARCH))/include,g;\
        s,@libgcc@,$(GCCLIB_$(DEFAULT_ARCH)),g;\
        s,@libgcc_eh@,$(GCCLIB_EH_$(DEFAULT_ARCH)),g;\
        s,@default_system@,$(DEFAULT_SYSTEM),g;\
        s,@default_arch@,$(DEFAULT_ARCH),g;\
        s,@default_cpu@,$(call PROCESS_SYSTEM,
's/[^-_]*_\([^-]*\).*/\1/p'),g;\
        s,@default_l4api@,$(call PROCESS_SYSTEM, 's/.*-\(.*\)/\1/p'),g;\
        ' $< > $@.new
        $(VERBOSE)chmod 755 $@.new
        $(VERBOSE)mv $@.new $@

For some reason (probably "make" or "sed" is broken?), the multi-line
sed command is not recognized properly. I get the following error:

  ... Generating drops-ar.Linux
sed '\
        s,@system@,Linux,g;\
        s,@ar@,ar,g;\
        s,@nm@,nm,g;\
        s,@ranlib@,ranlib,g;\
        s,@cc@,,g;\
        s,@cxx@,,g;\
        s,@l4dir@,,g;\

s,@dropsdir@,/home/osk/tmp/dropsupdate-060619-163030/drops-060619/build,g;\
        s,@compilerincdir@,/include,g;\
        s,@libgcc@,,g;\
        s,@libgcc_eh@,,g;\
        s,@default_system@,x86_586,g;\
        s,@default_arch@,x86,g;\
        s,@default_cpu@,586,g;\
        s,@default_l4api@,,g;\
        ' drops-ar.in > drops-ar.Linux.new
sed: -e expression #1, char 359: unterminated address regex
make: *** [drops-ar.Linux] Error 1

When I try it "by hand", I get the same error. Nevertheless it works,
when I put all the sed command into a single line.

Probably you already have a better solution to that?

Best regards
Oskar.
