Re: build from Source: 9.0.1 / 9.1-alpha1 cannot build modules

Tom,

Turns out the make problem was actually one of my issuing 'make'. IE, the resolution was simply issuing 'gmake' explicitly. To add some special sauce to the recipe, the 'make' of the core server went without a hitch; was only the build of modules which did not work.... Kinda misleading.

Back in openSolaris days, by whatever PATH Black Magic, my habitual 'make' commands were actually getting to gnu make. Not so in default current builds of OpenIndiana. This may be of some use to someone.

Hm, 3.81 is a pretty popular version, so that doesn't seem to be the
answer. Did you look at exactly what was on the complained-of line?
It looks to me like it should be

top_srcdir = $(top_builddir)

which seems unobjectionable. But maybe there's something wrong
with your copy of Makefile.global.in.

BTW, was this a vpath build, or not?

regards, tom lane
