Hi,

compiling on SunOS fails. configure runs without problems, make throws the following error:

   SUBDIR perl
make: Warning: Ignoring DistributedMake -o option
Usage : make [ -f makefile ][ -K statefile ]... [ -d ][ -dd ][ -D ][ -DD ]
             [ -e ][ -i ][ -k ][ -n ][ -p ][ -P ][ -q ][ -r ][ -s ][ -S ][ -t ]
             [ -u ][ -w ][ -V ][ target... ][ macro=value... ][ "macro +=value"... ]
make: Fatal error: Unknown option `-C'
make: *** [perl/perl.mak] Error 1

System: SunOS 5.10 i386 git: git-1.7.4.1.tar.gz Make: GNU Make 3.82 (locally installed)

It seems that the building process invokes (the system wide installed) SunOS make instead of the local GNU Make, since GNU Make does not display this error message. Are there any known workarounds or solutions?

Marco

Random guess: have you tried running "gmake"?

Alternatively, you might want to add the path containing your locally installed "make" to SANE_TOOL_PATH, for example by writing the following to config.mak:

	SANE_TOOL_PATH = /path/to/good/tools:/usr/xpg6/bin:/usr/xpg4/bin

Hope that helps, Jonathan

Stupid me. Sorry for the noise.
