[dsc] dsc Digest, Vol 62, Issue 1

[Christian Petrasch]

Hi Anand, 

i forwarded your question to a colleague of mine with very good c++ 
knowledge and he had a look:

Hi,

I don't have CentOS 7, but I could reproduce the Problem on FreeBSD 10 
with gnu-make 3.82.
Line 6 of makefile is:

TODAY != date +%Y%m%d

I don't know what the assignment "!=" should do, I've never seen this 
before. I'm only aware of =, +=, ?= and :=
(see 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/448910/makefile-variable-assignment)

If you remove that line (the varaible TODAY is only used when building a 
tar file from CVS), make 3.82 works for me.

The native BSD-make and gnu-make 3.81 don't have any problem with Line 6, 
so indeed, this seems to be a specific
problem/feature of gnu-make 3.82.

Best Regards,
Patrick

Subject: [dsc] DSC's collector fails to compile on CentOS 7
Message-ID: <53EB827E.3010807 at ripe.net>

Hello DSC users and devs,

I'm trying to compile DSC on CentOS 7, and it's failing. I'm building
dsc-201203250530. The specific error I get is:

# cd /builddir/build/BUILD/dsc-201203250530/collector/dsc/
# ./configure
...
[ configure output ]
...
# make
Makefile:6: *** missing separator.  Stop.

This exact sequence works fine on CentOS 6, but fails on CentOS 7.

If I diff the Makefiles produced by CentOS 6 and CentOS 7, I see:

< LDFLAGS +=             # from configure
< CFLAGS += -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions
-fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic          # 
from
configure
---
> LDFLAGS += -Wl,-z,relro                # from configure
> CFLAGS += -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions
-fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -grecord-gcc-switches
  -m64 -mtune=generic            # from configure


The other difference is that CentOS 6 has make version 3.81, and CentOS
7 has make version 3.82.

I can't see anything obviously wrong with the Makefile on line 6, but
perhaps I'm missing something obvious. Any ideas?

Regards,

Anand
