Just grabbed Wednesday’s source snapshot of SDL. When I try to make it,
make says there’s a syntax error: it’s this line here:
DEPS_MAGIC := $(shell mkdir .deps > /dev/null 2>&1 || 
It just doesn’t like it. Any ideas?

Use gmake instead of make.
See ya!

Yep that was the problem, just grabbed gmake, but I now get this error… .---------------------------------------------------------------

the SDL_main.pp doesn’t actually exist… any more ideas?
Cheers for this help, it’s really apprieciated…

Use gmake instead of make.
If GNU make is really required, then we should add a configure test for
it. If not, test the features that we need
What doesn’t it like in the above construct? $(shell …) ? Or the colon?

Don’t know, it just said syntax error on that line. Since sorted out
GNUmake now, could be handy for other things, I know Mozilla M18 insisted on
a gnu make… mission for another day…

Since these are just source snapshots, they can only be directly built
with gcc, since the automaked build uses gcc-only dependency
generation. If you do “make dist” with gcc, it prepares a distribution
that can be built with other compilers as well.
I agree that this could be done in a better way though, but there is
a shortage of platform-independent dependency generators
(“catastrophic errors”? Now, that is much worse than mere fatal errors…)
It’s automake that creates GNU-make-required makefiles by default;
configure can’t correct this, since it just gets its inputs from automake.
The answer is to use automake --include-deps

Awesome! Thanks!
It’s in CVS.
See ya,
