Subject: coreutils-8.24 - documentation installation targets fail in some
 sub-directories
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2015 21:23:41 +1000

Greetings,

One last quick bug report for the day. Still coreutils-8.24 on Solaris
10 and Solaris 11 on X86 VMs.

The installation of built documentation (dvi,ps,pdf) requires the use
of the gmake(1) option '-k' to avoid failing in sub-trees not
supporting these phony make targets.

Successful Steps:

	gmake pdf ps dvi

Unsuccessful Steps:

	gmake install-pdf install-ps install-dvi

Workaround Steps:

	gmake -k install-pdf install-ps install-dvi

Given the nature of the coreutils build process (mostly non-recursive),
maybe these phony targets don't need to be invoked recursively, but
once again I'm guessing, and have not explored the problem completely.

Regards,

Peter Bray

PS: Yes, all packages are being built with unique installation
prefixes, and the "scaffolding" suffix relates to the build phase of
the larger project.

Is this still an issue with the latest coreutils on Solaris?

Assaf,

I just downloaded coreutils 8.30, and I’m happy to report this is no longer an issue. So the bug can be closed as Fixed in 8.30 (or earlier).

Regards,
Peter

Thanks for following-up.

Closing as "fixed".
