Hi,

last week I posted a message crying for help because I was not able to install
the glibc-1.06 on a SPARC 10-30 under SunOS 4.1.3 (gcc 2.4.5 and libg++2.4
already installed).

'gnu_make install' always ended up with the message:

   gnu_make  -C assert/ subdir_install
   gnu_make[1]: Entering directory `/home/acct/root/glibc-1.06/assert'
   gnu_make[1]: *** No rule to make target `libc.a'.  Stop.
   gnu_make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/acct/root/glibc-1.06/assert'
   gnu_make: *** [assert/subdir_install] Error 1

Today, I played around a little bit with the rather complicated gnu-Makefiles
and discoverd the following errors (I think so):

The file 'Makerules' contains the following lines :

   # Any directory (parent or subdir) that has any object files to build
   # should install libc.a; this way "make install" in a subdir is guaranteed
   # to install everything it changes.
   ifdef objects
   install-lib := $(install-lib) libc.a
   endif

So, by doing a 'make lib', the target 'libc.a' is forced to be compiled in
every sub-directory that contains an object file in order to keep the Library
up to date.
BUT, the target 'libc.a' is only defined in the main-Makefile. The subdir-
Makefiles only include the files 'Makerules', 'Makeconfig' and 'Rules' from
the main-src-dir. 

To solve this problem I commented this lines out and started the installation
again. This may not be the best way, but a 'make clean' followed by 
'make lib' and 'make install' will it do the right way, I think.



I encountered two more problems compiling the library:

FIRST, the line 

   install-others = $(addprefix $(datadir)zoneinfo/,$(zonenames)          \

in the file 'time/Makefile' must be changed into

   install-others = $(addprefix $(datadir)/zoneinfo/,$(zonenames)          \

in order to compile.

SECOND, the lines

   ifndef posixrules-file
   posixrules-file = posixrules
   endif

in the file 'Makeconfig' need to be changed into 

   ifndef posixrules-file
   posixrules-file = $(posixrules)
   endif



Hope this helps

Thorsten
