[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #45578] build failure due to no dependency on libgnu

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #45578 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
        Operating System:               GNU/Linux => Any                    
                 Summary: mxe-octave default-octave build failure => build
failure due to no dependency on libgnu

Follow-up Comment #3:

This build failure can definitely also be demonstrated outside of mxe-octave.
I think the top-level Makefile has no rule telling it what steps depend on
libgnu now, other than "make all". So it's currently a race condition that
libgnu gets built before other steps that need it.

E.g. the following fails if I try to build a specific target rather than
"all":


$ make src/octave-gui
…
make: *** No rule to make target 'libgnu/libgnu.la', needed by
'liboctave/liboctave.la'.  Stop.


IMHO the fix will be to merge libgnu into the top-level Makefile as an include
as well, but I think that might need some work.
