• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Ulrich Müller 2010-09-04 11:58:43 UTC]

builddir=. /usr/bin/help2man --output=zile.1.in --no-info --name="Zile Is Lossy Emacs" --include ./man-extras ./zile-help2man-wrapper
help2man: can't get `--help' info from ./zile-help2man-wrapper
Try `--no-discard-stderr' if option outputs to stderr
make[2]: *** [zile.1.in] Error 255
make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-editors/zile-2.3.19/work/zile-2.3.19/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-editors/zile-2.3.19/work/zile-2.3.19'
make: *** [all] Error 2
emake failed

This is caused by a missing dependency in src/Makefile{.am,.in,}:
-zile.1.in: main.c man-extras zile-help2man-wrapper
+zile.1.in: main.c man-extras zile-help2man-wrapper zile$(exeEXT)

Actually, this happens only if timestamps are changed (e.g. by patching). Therefore, users should not be affected.
