Bug 109081 – gdm 2.8.0.5 make fails with "No rule to make target"

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 33432
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Frank Huang 2005-10-12 19:02:03 UTC]

When installing gdm 2.8.0.5 from source, the make stops and displays this error
message:

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `../vicious-extensions/libvicious.a', needed
by `test-ve-config'.  Stop.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. 'emerge gdm' or (if system is 'stable') 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge
=gdm-2.8.0.5'

Actual Results:  
Make continues for a little while, then exits with that error message.

Expected Results:  
It should have finished the compile and installed gdm 2.8.0.5.

I have MAKEOPTS="-j4".

These are the messages following the error:

make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
glade-helper.c: In function `glade_helper_load':
glade-helper.c:65: warning: implicit declaration of function `exit'
