RE: BUG_REPORT at compile time on HPUX

[Furlan Bojan RDSI]

To me, it looks like the problem occurs in Makefile.man. I believe it has
something to do with MANPAGES not being set or something like that. The
fifth line in Makefile.man is:

$(MANPAGES): $(top_srcdir)/VERSION $(top_srcdir)/REVISION

If I execute make in debugg mode, I get the following lines at the end:

class.h noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
setvar: GENHDRS = defs.h noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
setvar: CLEANADD = $(GENHDRS) noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001

I do not know whether gnu compile would help. It is my understanding we
should have gnu environment for that purpose (gnu compiler...), which we do
not. Please advise.

Line 5 in `Makefile' is a comment, so I don't know how to help.

Have you tried GNU make?
