[Gnash-dev] Cause of problem with test suite on OpenBSD

[Petter Reinholdtsen]

I had a look at the failing test suite on OpenBSD, and was able to
find the cause.  Entries like this do not work with BSD make:

  abs_srcdir=$(shell cd $(srcdir); pwd)

A variable like this is used to locate the swf files needed by the
test suite.

The failing entry from the last buildbot log is in
testsuite/samples/Makefile.am, but there are several use of $(shell
cmd) in makefiles in the testsuite tree, but also some in the
packaging and gui tree:

  gui/Makefile.am
  gui/dump/Makefile.am
  gui/fb/Makefile.am
  packaging/deb.am
  packaging/snapshot.am
  testsuite/actionscript.all/Makefile.am
  testsuite/misc-ming.all/Makefile.am
  testsuite/misc-ming.all/action_order/Makefile.am
  testsuite/misc-ming.all/displaylist_depths/Makefile.am
  testsuite/misc-ming.all/loading/Makefile.am
  testsuite/misc-ming.all/loop/Makefile.am
  testsuite/misc-swfc.all/Makefile.am
  testsuite/misc-swfmill.all/Makefile.am
  testsuite/misc-swfmill.all/trace-as2/Makefile.am
  testsuite/network.all/Makefile.am
  testsuite/samples/Makefile.am
  testsuite/swfdec/Makefile.am

I am not familiar enough with BSD make to know what to replace it
with.

Happy hacking,
