Continuing on Cygwin's, the build feels better and better, thanks
Olivier and Guy! However, compiling with "make" fails because:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `ethereal', needed by `all-am'. Stop.
Chain of rules is:
(default)
all: all-redirect
all-redirect: all-recursive-am
all-recursive-am: config.h
$(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) all-recursive
all-recursive [...]:
[...]
$(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) all-am
all-am: Makefile $(PROGRAMS) [...]
The heck is that $(PROGRAMS) is set to $(bin_PROGRAMS) which in turn
resolves with:
bin_PROGRAMS = ethereal editcap mergecap tethereal text2pcap
This is the result of Makefile.in having:
bin_PROGRAMS = @ethereal_bin@ @editcap_bin@ @mergecap_bin@ \
@tethereal_bin@ @dftest_bin@ @randpkt_bin@ @text2pcap_bin@
And in configure, we have:
ethereal_bin="ethereal"
There are multiple ways to fix this, however the greatest challenge
seems to be in the backward compatibility with older autoconf/automake
revisions. Since with autoconf 2.13 + automake 1.4-p6 and with autoconf
2.57 + automake 1.7.8 I managed to generate a Makefile with:
ethereal_bin = ethereal$(EXEEXT)
and with EXEEXT correctly defined, it seems the attached patch fixes
this. I've only changed the *_bin= non-empty definitions in
configure.in to include $(EXEEXT) in the Makefile.
Kind regards,
