Problems compiling: hw: No such file or directory

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Compiling on FreeBSD 13.1, I hit an error during make. It originates from the server/Makefile

cd: hw: No such file or directory

the 'hw' directory is there and I can even go in there and successfully make its Makefile, but server/Makefile refuses to move on

As is probably evident, debugging this is not my strong suit, so I hope someone can help me along!

Although generated Makefiles are supposed to be portable,
as first attempt you can try using GNU make, i.e. run gmake instead of plain make - you may need to install the former

Thank you! gmake worked. I had to run configure with --disable-dependency-tracking, but it doesn't seem to have had any adverse impact.
