Any ./configure Parameters used?

Which shell is /bin/sh ?

Which make is used?

Does the problem persist if other parameters, another shell (e.g. make SHELL=/bin/bash), or another make (e.g. GNU make instead of BSD make) are used?

​Homebrew and ​Macports already provide smartmontools 6.4. I'm not aware of any related complaints or patches from there.

[Alex Samorukov]

1. No ./configure parameters
2. GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin14)
3. GNU Make 3.81
4. Env is very, very default, no changes are done.

And if i am doing svn up -r r4066 all builds fine.

I will try to find why build from the brew works correctly. Probably some version magic.

[Alex Samorukov]

It is strange, if i am downloading tar.gz file it builds just fine. Also tried make distclean && autoreconf && make - all is ok. but when i am fetching same svn revision from the svn - it fails with the same error.

[Alex Samorukov]

Sorry for taking your time. After reinstalling automake from brew it now build fine. So probably some local issue with automake package. Still no idea what it was, and how this could happens. I am closing this ticket.

[Christian Franke]

N.P.

[Christian Franke]

This part of the error message suggests that Makefile.in was not regenerated after updating Makefile.am:

/bin/sh: -c: line 0: `...ATTRIBUTELOG/ s,^,.\\"# ,' |  | sed "s|/usr/local/...

The syntax error at '| |' was introduced because MAN_CAPABILITIES is no longer set if new config.status is used.

Try ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode to add Makefile targets which rebuild configure and/or Makefile.in (and then config.status and Makefile) if needed.
