Hello Mr. Dorey
Many thanks for your reply. I apologize for sending
the big size attachment as I didn't realize that the address: address@hidden addresses a mailing
list. I found it in the versioning message for make utility (using $make
--version). My intention was to let you have the exact source which I am
using (as I don't have the actual web link where the same copy of tar is
available). Any how, I will be more careful in my future correspondence.
I am replying to your concerns in the text
below:
1. I got the error while attempting the compilation
of lambench.tar source as per the directions given in its README. These are as
follows.
a. change directory to
lmbench/src
b. execute $make results
2. I consider it as an error in Make utility
because of the following error messages:
make[1]: get: Command not found
make[1]: *** [get]
Error 127
get seems to be a label in the Make file (see the
lines below copied from the Makefile - zipped inside the tar).
get:
for i in doc src results scripts; do \
echo
===== $$i =====; \
(cd $$i && bk get -q);
\
done
@co -q
It seems to me that Make utility is not
interpreting it properly and thus giving the error: command not
found.
3. As a matter of fact, I am attempting this
compilation as the first step after installing the operating system. Thus there
is no chance that some file had been deleted unintentionally. In addition, the
same source (tar file) can easily be compiled on another installation (Fedora
Core 5) thus implying the existence of all the required code files inside the
tar. [I am not sure whether the file src/bw_file_read.c is a part of linux core OR should be found
within the lmbench source tree]
I hope the situation is now much clearer to you.
Regards,
Irfan

Subject: RE: Errors while Recompiling
lmbench: With Make
What exactly did you
type to provoke this error? Why
do you think it demonstrates a bug in make? From the information you've given, it
just looks like you've erroneously deleted src/bw_file_read.c.
(2MiB is a large
attachment to send unsolicited to a mailing list. Posting a link to, say, http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lmbench/lmbench-3.0-a7.tgz?download
would have been nicer.)
