makefiles for BSD make utilities

[requiredregistration]

i checked this on openbsd and this is the result after entering gmake:

# gmake
/bin/sh: ./genbuild: No such file or directory
gmake: *** [Makefile:320: build.h.git] Error 1

Hi,
Thanks for your input, this definitely shouldn't be happening.

Could you give more details about what you did ?
I'm assuming you're working from a git repository, as in :

$ git clone https://github.com/pasky/pachi
$ cd pachi
$ gmake

is that right ?

Output of this would help too:

$ ls -l genbuild

yes, that is right, with one difference. i entered git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/pasky/pachi.git.

the output of ls -l genbuild:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   1099 Jul 10 01:03 genbuild

Do you have bash installed in /bin/bash ?

whether i enter gmake in ksh or in bash, the output is the same.

i also checked with and without a symbolic link (/bin/bash -> /usr/local/bin/bash). no difference.

what changed the output was the installation of bash. it uses bash for some things?

# gmake
make: unknown option -- -
gmake: *** [Makefile:314: build.h] Error 2

Yes, build needs a number of GNU tools. On OpenBSD the problem is that invoking make runs bsd make instead of gnu make, which won't work here. So you'll either have to hack your environment or Pachi's build to work around that. You could try replacing every instance of @make by @$(MAKE) in Makefile, and build with :

$ gmake MAKE=gmake

If you're serious about trying to get it to build on OpenBSD first you should have all dependencies listed in INSTALL.md installed. This assumes you have a minimal setup for compiling software (build-essential package on Ubuntu). Here at the very least this means gmake, bash, gcc, g++, all dependencies + library headers, probably perl as well. It's pointless to even try building until you have all dependencies installed (boost, caffe etc ...).
