During cppunit make install error for task install-m4DATA appeared - windows

I've been building freedesktop cppunit with mingw
https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/cppunit/
I've made some fixes to source files and makefiles and been able to
successfully execute commmands:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
without any errors.
There was a need to set
m4_DATA = m4
instead of value "cppunit.m4" in Makefile.am(there was no such dir in build and it looks like such dir is "m4" dir).
After successful make execution doing
make --debug install
failed with error:
File install-m4DATA not found
from Makefile.am:
m4dir = $(datadir)/aclocal //what is datadir btw?
automake generated Makefile task:
install-m4DATA: $(m4_DATA)
#$(NORMAL_INSTALL) // fails at this line
test -z "$(m4dir)" || $(MKDIR_P) "$(DESTDIR)$(m4dir)"
#list='$(m4_DATA)'; test -n "$(m4dir)" || list=; \
for p in $$list; do \
if test -f "$$p"; then d=; else d="$(srcdir)/"; fi; \
echo "$$d$$p"; \
done | $(am__base_list) | \
while read files; do \
echo " $(INSTALL_DATA) $$files '$(DESTDIR)$(m4dir)'"; \
$(INSTALL_DATA) $$files "$(DESTDIR)$(m4dir)" || exit $$?; \
done

How to fix "make install" execution.
Will it work if i have only mingw envieronment on my PC?
Version is 1.13.2 fresh from git repo.
I also post lines from "make --debug install" output
File 'install-m4DATA' does not exist.
Must remake target 'install-m4DATA'.
test -z "/usr/local/share/aclocal" || /usr/bin/mkdir -p "/usr/local/share/aclocal"
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./m4 '/usr/local/share/aclocal'
Makefile:432: recipe for target 'install-m4DATA' failed
make[2]: Leaving directory 'c:/Users/user/projects/cppunit'
Makefile:799: recipe for target 'install-am' failed
make[1]: Leaving directory 'c:/Users/user/projects/cppunit'
Makefile:479: recipe for target 'install-recursive' failed
It also prints that that script omits directory at line
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 ./m4 '/usr/local/share/aclocal'
Possibly here must go files from directory but not directory itself.
How to fix it to do that(i'm not familiar with Makefiles and bash)?

how to enable host compilation but not cross compilation on yocto on certain files

I am trying to build gutenprint 5.2.14 for arm platform using yocto project "devtool". During the compile process, I am getting this error for the file "lt-extract-strings" saying cannot binary execute file: Exec format error
Upon looking at the file, it a 32-bit arm-executable.
OpenWRT says to implement this when doing cross-compilation.
define Build/Compile
# Replace the cross-compiled "extract-string" by a shell-script that
# runs the host's own compiled version (gutenprint needs to run this)
(cd $(PKG_BUILD_DIR) && $(MAKE) -C src/xml extract-strings && \
$(RM) src/xml/extract-strings && \
echo '#!/bin/sh' > src/xml/extract-strings && \
echo 'exec $(HOST_BUILD_DIR)/src/xml/extract-strings "$$$$#" ' \
>> src/xml/extract-strings && chmod +x src/xml/extract-strings && cp src/xml/extract-strings /tmp/)
$(call Build/Compile/Default)
endef
the link to the file is here
I tried looking for sources on how to implement this fix above in a yocto recipe but I had no luck finding it. Can someone help me solve this issue ?
Thanks in advance

Make: Can we have directories as a target in GNUmakefile

I am working on GNUmake to create symlink to specific file by parsing whole directory which has a folder which needs to be linked.
Here is my makefile snippet.
TGT_LINK = /lan/test/workspace/build/tools
all_target: release_buid complete_test $(TGT_LINK)
$(TGT_LINK):
if [ ! -d $# ]; then mkdir -p $#; fi
cd $#; \
tar_ln=`\ls -d synopsystcl* | sed 's/synopsys//'`; \
sour_dir=`\ls -d synopsystcl*`; \
if ! [ -e $tar_ln ]; then \
ln -s $sour_dir $tar_ln; \
fi
Directory : /lan/test/workspace/build/tools Contains following content in it
polaris.so link.a dynamic.so kbuild.so README.txt license.txt synopsystcl5.5 build.json
Here i am trying to create symlink with name tcl5.5 pointing to synopsystcl5.5 with my above target $(TGT_LINK) code.
tcl5.5 -> synopsystcl5.5
After successful completion of two targets : release_buid complete_test , build is not proceeding to go for next target $(TGT_LINK) to create symlink. Could you please help whats wrong in code?
I would let make itself to check and recreate symlink as needed, i.e.:
TGT_LINK = /lan/test/workspace/build/tools
all_target: release_buid complete_test symlink
.PHONY: symlink
symlink: $(patsubst $(TGT_LINK)/tcl%, $(TGT_LINK)/synopsystcl%, $(wildcard $(TGT_LINK)/tcl*))
$(TGT_LINK)/synopsystcl%: $(TGT_LINK)/tcl%
set -e; \
cd $(#D); \
rm -f $(#F); \
ln -s $(<F) $(#F)
I would also consider reordering targets if there are dependencies indeed. One should never assume that dependency list is processed left to right; it will also lead to errors when parallel build (-j) is involved. If you have dependencies that something should happen before something else, it should be explicitly stated, e.g.:
all_target: symlink
symlink: complete_test
complete_test: release_buid

Getting libcrypto ar error while compiling OpenSSL for Mac

I have been able to compile a specific version of OpenSSL for iOS devices, and I am now trying to compile for Mac OSX. However, when I run my bash script (provided below) I am getting the following error:
ar r ../../libcrypto.a o_names.o obj_dat.o obj_lib.o obj_err.o obj_xref.o
ar: ../../libcrypto.a is a fat file (use libtool(1) or lipo(1) and ar(1) on it)
ar: ../../libcrypto.a: Inappropriate file type or format
When I run lipo -info libcrypto.a I get the following result:
Architectures in the fat file: libcrypto.a are: i386 x86_64
This does not make any sense, as my bash script is only configuring OpenSSL for i386 (I was looping to do both, but removed x86_64 once I started getting these problems).
I have tried following the answers for similar SO questions here and here. However, those yielded the same results. Additionally, the Mac installation instructions on the OpenSSL Wiki were of no help either.
My scripts:
Build.sh
projectDir="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
ARCHS=("i386")
FIPS_VERSION="2.0.12"
OPENSSL_VERSION="1.0.2g"

}

Following #jww's answer, I found that changing the following line (around line 69) in the main Makefile (the one in the root folder) solved the ar linking problem that #jww mentioned:
AR= ar $(ARFLAGS) r to AR= libtool -o
Making this change did get me further along in the process. However, I began having other problems. Further "research" led me to the OpenSSL FAQ page which had a question talking about OpenSSL failing to build on Mac. It pointed me to the PROBLEMS file in the root directory of the OpenSSL source code. That file said that there is a MAC ld problem:
This is really a misfeature in ld, which seems to look for .dylib
libraries along the whole library path before it bothers looking for
.a libraries. This means that -L switches won't matter unless OpenSSL
is built with shared library support.
The workaround may be to change the following lines in apps/Makefile
and test/Makefile:
LIBCRYPTO=-L.. -lcrypto
LIBSSL=-L.. -lssl
to:
LIBCRYPTO=../libcrypto.a
LIBSSL=../libssl.a
With this information, I created a patch file for the root Makefile and the Makefile in the apps folder. I also found that I had to comment out the instructions in the main Makefile and the apps/Makefile to build the openssl binary / executable. This should only be necessary if you want to run make install.
The patch files exists at the same level as the Build.sh script. And after fiddling around with my Build-OpenSSL.sh script I was finally able to get it to build for both i386 and x86_64.
For future reference, I am including the complete contents of the two patch files, and the original two script files below.

ar: ../../libcrypto.a is a fat file (use libtool(1) or lipo(1) and ar(1) on it)
ar: ../../libcrypto.a: Inappropriate file type or format
ar, libtool and -arch is the reason the answer says "... supplying -arch x86_64 -arch i386 will result in a build failure because of the way OpenSSL's build system forms commands" at Build Multiarch OpenSSL on OS X.
You need to use Apple's libtool, and stop using ar. Apple's libtool knows about architectures, ar does not.
Another small wrinkle is the makefile does something like this, if I recall correctly. It makes it difficult to simply use Apple's libtool, and stop using ar:
$(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $# ...
In many makefiles you can simply make AR="libtool -o", but this case is different because the command comes out libtool -o r libcrypto.a or similar. I also seem to recall something like make AR="libtool" ARFLAGS="r -o $#" does not work well either.
I used to patch the makefile after config to do it.

Permission denied when trying to install gcc, even if logged as root

I'm trying to install gcc 4.7.0 on ubuntu 10.04 following that tutorial http://www.tellurian.com.au/whitepapers/multiplegcc.php. After some time to install the dependencies, I've been able to run make without errors, but the final step, make install doesn't want to succeed, it end up with permission denied.
Here's what I did :
../gcc-4.7.0/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc/4.7.7 --enable-languages=c,c++
make
su -l
cd /groups/gobj
make install
the result for the last command :

I've already tried su root, su -, su without succes. Some files are effectively copied to /usr/local/gcc/4.7.0 but the process stopped and I don't understand why as I'm logged as root. I've checked, the file /groups/gcc-4.7.0/gcc/doc/tm.texi.in exists. Any help ?
As puzzling as it sounds that the superuser "root" cannot create files while a normal user can, a likely scenario is that your build directory (that is, the directory in which you ran "make install") is being served from an NFS server, and it is probably mounted such that the server doesn't trust your build machine's request to write files as root.
As a simple test see if you can write an empty file to the build directory by running touch test as root. If that fails then you've found the source of the problem. Another way to confirm it is to check the output of "mount" at at least confirm that your build directory is being served via NFS.
server:/groups 20G 948M 19G 5% /groups
If you see a line like this in the mount output then you know for certain that your build directory is being NFS mounted. To tell whether or not root is being trusted, however, you'll ultimately have to check the settings on the NFS server.
Fixing the problem
The fastest way to fix this issue is to find a local filesystem on your build machine and move the contents of your build directory there, then re-run "make install".
Did you tried sudo?
sudo make install
Edit:
As root, you can add yourself to sudoers.
If you can't get root via sudo, try either
su - root
or
ssh root#...
