[AD] embarrassing glitch (make clean)

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More lists.liballeg.org/allegro-developers Archives ]


My apologies if this has already been fixed, but I don't have time to
check it out in the latest WIP.

After building WIP 3.9.34 I got the following error:

> make clean
rm -f docs/*.texi docs/*.txi docs/*.tex docs/*.info docs/*.inf
docs/*.3 docs/*.txt obj/*/*.o obj/*/*/*.o obj/*/*/*/*.o obj/*/*.obj

/bin/sh: /usr/people/zelle/bin/rm: arg list too long
make: *** [clean] Error 1

Now in my view this is not so much embarrassing for allegro as it is
for either for the version of sh (Version M-11/16/88f) that we're
running here, or rm ((GNU fileutils) 4.0). Since those fileutils are
brand new, I expect it's the shells fault.

This is happening on an SGI O2 running IRIX 6.5. I wasn't aware there
*was* a limitation to the command line, but apparently there is. I
know this is not the most common system, but should this perhaps be
changed in the makefile? It's working around other people's bugs, I
know, but the fix is not complicated (call Make -C clean for some
separate directories).
