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

'Wacko', indeed, no?

It's make 3.81, as packaged with OpenIndiana. gcc is 3.4.3.

Though I've been traditionally very reliant on Steve Christensen's 'Good Works' over at SunFreeware, the gang at OI are working hard to be very current. Do you think it's a version thing?

Am about to re-do the build using above SunFreeware packages. Will issue further action reports from The Front.

That seems pretty wacko. What version of make is that?

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?
