Hi Everyone,

I'm working from the 2.18 tarball on Solaris 11.3 x86_64. I'm catching the following when building from sources. This appears to be a new issue. It was not present in 2.17.1.

    gmake: *** No rule to make target `git-daemon'.  Stop.
    gmake: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
    Failed to build Git

There does not appear to be an option to control building the daemon:

    $ ./configure --help | grep -i daemon
    $

Any ideas on how to side-step it?

Thanks in advance

Unable to reproduce this problem. Is your Makefile corrupt or truncated or something?

I also don't see this issue, and I didn't see anything between 2.17.1 and 2.18 that stood out to me as a potential cause of this problem. Can you tell us a bit more about what version of GNU make you're using and the configuration you're trying to build (say, the config.mak.autogen)?

Sorry about the late reply. I meant to reply this morning.

My shell script to patch things on Solaris was the cause of the problem.

(If anyone is interested in first class Solaris support then I am happy to help. The patch set needed for the platform has been stable for the last couple of years).

Glad to hear you got it figured out.

I'd certainly be interested for you to send it to the list. I'm not sure I can provide a helpful review, since I don't run Solaris, but having better support out of the box would definitely be nice.

The cURL team has some SunOS build IIRC that was nicely integrated with their GitHub-based CI. Maybe we could have something similar?

Ciao, Dscho

Like others, I don't really have an idea on how this could have happened. But perhaps "gmake -d git-daemon" could be enlightening?

Mine has:

  [...]
  Considering target file 'git-daemon'.
   Looking for an implicit rule for 'git-daemon'.
   Trying pattern rule with stem 'daemon'.
   Trying implicit prerequisite 'daemon.o'.
   Trying rule prerequisite 'GIT-LDFLAGS'.
   Trying rule prerequisite 'common-main.o'.
   Trying rule prerequisite 'libgit.a'.
   Trying rule prerequisite 'xdiff/lib.a'.
   Found an implicit rule for 'git-daemon'.
    Considering target file 'daemon.o'.

and so on.

There's no official knob to turn, but dropping this line would remove it:
