1.3 Mingw Build error: multiple target patterns

Greetings all!

So I completely deleted out my Mingw install and reinstalled from scratch.
I also updated the Automake, Autogen, and Autoconf.

The configure command I ran was:
./configure --prefix=/mingw --enable-ssemath --enable-sse2

The configure goes through just fine, but when running make I get the error
Makefile:77: *** multiple target patterns. Stop.

I tried autogening and reconfiguring with the same configure line
and I still get the same error.

The system is Windows XP using Mingw32.

Ideas?

Thanks!

So am I the only one getting this error?

Do I need to change some variables so it knows how to build it?

I never got this error with the 1.2 version.

And I had gotten it to compile up to the audio portion where I guess I had a
corrupt dsound header or lib.

Hello friends:

I know that this is not the place for these things, but desperately I take the
risk, this it embarrasses me, but I as a fanatic, I ask and pray at the same
time.

“who have an old computer that could give me?”

friends, with the greatest shame of the world, I tell them I live in Cuba and
with the utmost of my efforts, I could not buy one.

I request this here because i know that if you’re in this mailing list is
because you are truly dedicated to this world of computers and then you can
understand my dreams and needs. I can say that from my 10 years of age I run
after a computer, here in my country there are places that are similar to a
cibers coffee, but these places are free, with the difference that are very
frequented and with very few computers, I had to get up with my classmates at 3
in the morning in order to queue for get into to these sites for two hours at
day, who would do this if it really is not dedicated, but now the time has
passed and I have 24 years old, and I don’t know what more to do, for get one, I
have struggled and now work in one of these sites where there are computers, but
now I can’t devote 100% to what really excites me that is programming and
creating games, and this is why I appeal to you, for if someone is able to help
me.

I apologize to those who have been angry for this, I’m sorry, but I would not do
this if I could not buy a computer with my own efforts.

My name is Leonel Florin Selles, and muy phone number at work is
"00-53-4343-7496" or “53-4343-7496” but my real number is 7496, this are in my
work because I don’t have a phone in my house. and I live in cienfuegos -
cumanayagua, if someone chooses to help me, then I will give my home address.

I hope you understand me, greetings.

Sr. Selles,

I wish you the best of luck in your search for a computer. I just wanted to
clear up a minor error that has the potential to embarrass you. The word
"fan?tico" translates as “fan” in English. “Fanatic” means “alguien
enloquecido por su gran grado de devoci?n a una causa.” It’s often used,
for example, to describe terrorists.

Suerte,

What’s the output of “make --version” ?
What are the few lines around line 77 in your Makefile?

Have you tried cygwin32?On Tue, Oct 20, 2009 at 7:57 AM, Micah Brening <micah.brening at gmail.com> wrote:

make --version:

This program built for i686-pc-msys

The makefile at line 77 seems to be for building SDL.la
I’d past it in here but that one line is 12342 characters in length.
I can still post it if needed.

But it starts with:
$(objects)/SDL.lo: ./src/SDL.c $(LIBTOOL) --mode=compile

I haven’t tried compiling with cygwin32.
I don’t have it installed on my development computer.
I tend to prefer mingw over cygwin.
I know there is the -mno-cygwin flag to help with the cygwin.dll dependency,
but I still avoid it unless needed.

However, if you are asking for me to test it on that, I can look into it.

Thanks!

Please have a look at the patch submitted in: “[patch] broken SDL
configure on MinGW after r4928 (my dependency patch) due MSYS bash bug”

This fixes the problem. Sorry, I didn’t spot this thread, should
attach the patch here.

Or, usually in it’s abbreviated form, “fan”, to mean someone who is
very enthusiastic about a particular subject. “Fan” is only an
abbreviation, not a separate word.

Leonel, please keep in mind that the cost of shipping a computer to
Cuba would far exceed the cost of the computer itself for most people
on this list. You would probably get better results asking friends or
family, or if they are in the same situation you are, find a computer
you want and ask for money to buy it. If you keep a list of people
who have sent you money, keep track of how much money you’ve
collected, and share this information, then people can help you as a
group, dividing the cost among themselves according to what they can
afford.

I really need to learn how to use Bugzilla.
I did a search in it just for Mingw and it didn’t come up with anything. Any
chance of getting that patch?

Regards,

Adam,

I finally had some time for testing the patch when low and behold the newest
snapshot of 1.3 seems to have fixed the problem.

So I guess your patch was quietly applied.

Thanks again for your help!
