Re: screen-4.6.2 build fails

Thank you very much for your reply.

Yes, the machine is running BSD.  uname -srp ==>> NetBSD 7.0.2 i386

The commands for building are:
% gzip -dc screen-4.6.2.tar.gz | tar xf -
% cd screen-4.6.2
% ./configure  --prefix=/usr/local --with-socket-dir=/usr/local/screens \
  --enable-colors256 --enable-use-locale

I have tried using both /usr/bin/make and GNU make 4.2.
With BSD `make` the build stops almost immediately with:
make: "/usr/local/src/screen-4.6.2/Makefile" line 29: Missing dependency operato
r
make: "/usr/local/src/screen-4.6.2/Makefile" line 31: Need an operator
make: Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
make: stopped in /usr/local/src/screen-4.6.2

I looked at lines 29 and 31 of the Makefile, but nothing seemed wrong to me,
although I have no knowledge of how a Makefile should look.

With GNU make I get the errors I posted in my previous mail.

I also tried setting environment variables after running the configure script
and before typing (g)make
% setenv CPPFLAGS "-I/usr/local/include"
% setenv LDFLAGS "-L/usr/local/lib"
% setenv LIBS "-lncursesw"
, but there was no difference in the outcome, i.e., exactly the same errors.

Regards,

Henry
