[Mailman-Users] mailman-2.1.26: `make install` fails

[Brent Kearney]

That was the first thing I tried :). It is whatever version of make shipped with SunStudio 12, around 2008, I think. I wouldn’t worry about this, its an edge-case, and was easy to monkey-patch myself to make it work. In retrospect, I should have run `gmake`, for GNU make.

$ make --help
Usage : make [ -f makefile ][ -K statefile ]... [ -d ][ -dd ][ -D ][ -DD ]
             [ -e ][ -i ][ -k ][ -n ][ -p ][ -P ][ -q ][ -r ][ -s ][ -S ][ -t ]
             [ -u ][ -w ][ -V ][ target... ][ macro=value... ][ "macro +=value"... ]
make: Fatal error: Missing argument after `—'

$ make --version
make: Warning: Ignoring DistributedMake -v option
make: Warning: Ignoring DistributedMake -o option
make: Fatal error: No dmake output dir argument after -o flag

Best wishes,
Brent
