From 1ee1d66e9b2bbcd8d957b7e6854bd930fa53db46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohammad Akhlaghi Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2020 17:32:44 +0000 Subject: Installation: m4 no longer depends on Texinfo In a recent build on a macOS, we recognized that Texinfo needs the 'libintl.h' headers of Gettext. However, Gettext depends on M4, and until now we had set M4 to depend on Texinfo. Therefore adding Gettext as a dependency of Texinfo would cause a circular dependency. On the macOS, we temporarily disabled M4's Texinfo dependency, and the build went through. I also checked on my GNU/Linux system: temporarily renamed all Texinfo built files from my system and done a clean build of M4 and it succeeded. To be further safe, I built Maneage from this commit (where M4 doesn't depend on Texinfo) in a Docker container, and it went through with no problems. So the current M4 version indeed doesn't need Texinfo. I think adding Texinfo as a dependency of M4 was a historic issue from the early days. In the process, I also cleaned 'basic.mk' a little: - A "# Level N" comment was added on top of each group of software that can be built in parallel (generally). - GNU Nano was moved to the end of the file (to be "Level 6"). - Some comments were edited in some places. --- reproduce/software/make/basic.mk | 96 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 67 insertions(+), 29 deletions(-) diff --git a/reproduce/software/make/basic.mk b/reproduce/software/make/basic.mk index 934580a..d5484b2 100644 --- a/reproduce/software/make/basic.mk +++ b/reproduce/software/make/basic.mk @@ -572,8 +572,16 @@ $(ibidir)/bash-$(bash-version): \ -# The `-shared' flag will cause problems while building Perl on macOS, so -# we'll only use this configuration option when we are GNU/Linux + + + + + +# Level 4: Most other programs +# ---------------------------- + +# In Perl, The `-shared' flag will cause problems while building on macOS, +# so we'll only use this configuration option when we are GNU/Linux # systems.
